San Juan City Mayor Mayor Guia Gomez — who was a partner of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada and is the mother of Senator JV Ejercito — officially endorsed Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. as her pick for Vice President.
“Gomez, who earlier expressed support for presidential candidate Mar Roxas, also said she had a difficult time deciding her vice presidential bet because she is reportedly also close to other contenders. But she recalled how the Marcoses and the Ejercitos were always there for each other,” reports Frances Mangosing on Inquirer.net.
She stated, “Ang amin pong mga pamilya ay kapwa matagal nang nagsasama. Halos limang dekada na po ang samahan ng pamilyang Marcos at Ejercito (Our families have a long history together. We’ve known each other for almost five decades).”
The report noted: “Marcos is currently sharing the top spot with Sen. Francis Escudero on the latest Social Weather Stations Survey. The son and namesake of the late dictator was also once a resident of San Juan City before his father became president.”
