Brewing drama in Alyansa? Toby says no talks to remove Imee, Camille from slate
Navotas Representative and Alyansa Para Sa Bagong Pilipinas campaign manager Toby Tiangco stated that there have been no discussions about dropping Senator Imee Marcos and Las Piñas Representative Camille Villar from the administration's senatorial slate.
Tiangco emphasized that questions regarding the future of these candidates are best answered by Marcos and Villar themselves.
Both Marcos and Villar were notably absent from Alyansa's 10th campaign sortie in Cavite.
This absence marks the second time Senator Imee Marcos has skipped an Alyansa campaign rally, the first being in her mother's stronghold of Tacloban City.
Marcos had previously explained her absence from the Tacloban rally was due to her disagreement with events concerning former President Rodrigo Duterte.
