NUP backing proof that Marcos's call for unity is getting louder, says spox
The National Unity Party (NUP) has officially endorsed Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s presidential campaign, stating his call for unity aligns with their vision of "one nation, one future."
Marcos's spokesman, lawyer Vic Rodriguez, expressed elation, calling the endorsement a "crescendoing national chorus" that confirms the movement for national unity.
Rodriguez extended appreciation to the NUP for placing their trust in Marcos to fulfill their shared vision.
The NUP, a significant political party led by Cavite Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr., urged its members to support Marcos for national progress and prosperity.
This endorsement followed Partido Reporma's decision to support Vice President Leni Robredo and came after a PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi also backed Marcos Jr.
Marcos's camp also affirmed reports that President Rodrigo Duterte has recently met with the presidential frontrunner.
