Two Visayas-based Marcos volunteer groups reportedly shift support to Mayor Isko
Fifty officers from volunteer groups Marcos Pa Rin (MPR) and Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP), formerly supporting Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., have switched their allegiance to Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.
These individuals formalized their endorsement through a manifesto supporting Moreno for president and Sara Duterte for vice president, citing their performance as mayors.
The shift in support from these pro-administration groups in central Philippines was formalized at a ceremony in Iloilo City.
This marks the second time that leaders of Marcos' political party have disowned their standard bearer, with a previous instance occurring on March 30 in Iligan City.
The newly formed Visayas for Isko-Sara Alliance (VISA) aims to ensure the victory of Moreno and Duterte in the upcoming May 9 National and Local Elections.
