Over 1,400 priests, bishops, and deacons from the Clergy for the Moral Choice (CMC) group have endorsed the tandem of Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Francis 'Kiko' Pangilinan.

A Pangasinan-based priest stated that the Catholic Church's support for the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem is a moral obligation to guide the people in choosing their leaders.

He emphasized that their stand is for truth and correct governance, especially for the poor, not for a specific candidate.

Several Catholic priests and nuns were seen accompanying Aika Robredo during her house-to-house campaign in Lingayen.

Around 200 members of the clergy, religious, and consecrated persons from the Archdiocese of Cebu also expressed their support for the tandem during a visit by Tricia Robredo.

This follows endorsements from the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) for Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte, and the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) Council of Bishops for the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem.
