Lacson sounds off on INC endorsement of BBM-Sara
Presidential candidate Panfilo Lacson respects the Iglesia ni Cristo's (INC) decision to endorse Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos.
Lacson noted that while endorsements from large groups with bloc voting matter, past elections have shown that both endorsed and non-endorsed candidates can win or lose.
He acknowledged that INC had supported his past senatorial bids where he won, but you can't expect an endorsement in every election.
Lacson's running mate, Tito Sotto, urged endorsing groups to consider candidates' track records and accomplishments.
Lacson stated that while they might have received less financial backing without survey popularity, they appreciate the support of their "true believers."
