Ejercito stated on Mon, Jan 18, that he is still inclined to support Sen. Grace Poe despite the decision of his mother.
“Ejercito told members of the press that he is supporting Poe as they have fought issues together such as the Freedom of Information Bill, the Mamasapano incident and the Metro Rail Transit woes,” reports Patricia Lourdes Viray on Philstar.com.
Ejercito was quoted as saying, “Nothing is final yet but as of this time, I’m still inclined to support Senator Poe.” He added that his family members “agreed to disagree” in supporting presidential candidates in the May 9 elections.
Meanwhile, Ejercito’s father, Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, has not yet revealed who he’s backing.
