Ace Durano says Robredo not uninvited to Cebu rally
Vice President Leni Robredo's planned appearance at a rally in Cebu has been canceled.
Cebu gubernatorial aspirant Ace Durano clarified that Robredo was not uninvited, but her camp opted to skip the event after Durano's party, Partido Pilipino sa Pagbabago (PPP), decided to endorse Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
Durano stated that Robredo's team was already hesitant to have her appear, though communication with his team indicated it was still acceptable.
The PPP, initially supporting Senator Christopher "Bong" Go and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, officially announced their support for Marcos Jr. on Saturday, April 23.
However, Durano, who is the PPP president for Central Visayas, mentioned he did not sign the party's manifesto endorsing Marcos Jr.
