Loyal Isko Moreno volunteers twit Orbos group: ‘We have integrity’
An early nationwide volunteer group for presidential candidate Isko Moreno, Ikaw Muna (IM) Pilipinas, has officially announced its shift of support to Vice President Leni Robredo.
The group's leadership, including former transportation undersecretary Tim Orbos and secretary-general Elmer Argaño, expressed their belief in Robredo's potential victory.
However, a separate group of loyal IM Pilipinas volunteers, led by Philip Piccio, affirmed their support for Moreno "win or lose."
Piccio called himself the new "acting secretary-general" of IM Pilipinas, stating that the defecting group led by Orbos and Argaño represents only a "minute portion" of the organization.
Piccio emphasized his commitment to integrity and loyalty, stating he could not abandon Moreno after choosing him based on the decision of all members.
The shift of some IM Pilipinas leaders to Robredo follows similar announcements from the group's chapters in Visayas and Zamboanga.
