‘Welcome, NPC-Tarlac, to UniTeam!’–Marcos camp says after their BBM-Sara endorsement
Leaders of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) in Tarlac have officially endorsed the presidential and vice-presidential candidacies of Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte-Carpio, respectively.
The endorsement was made during a meet-and-greet event for the UniTeam tandem, organized by Tarlac Governor Susan Yap and Tarlac Representative Victor Yap, both prominent members of the NPC.
Rep. Yap clarified that Governor Yap, as the provincial party leader, had granted them the freedom to choose their preferred candidates.
The NPC, founded by the late Eduardo Cojuangco Jr. and currently chaired by Senate President Vicente Sotto III (who is running for vice president alongside Senator Panfilo Lacson), is an influential political party.
Tarlac is historically considered an opposition bailiwick, partly due to its strong ties with the Aquino political family.
