Gwen backs 8 admin bets
The Freeman
|April 12, 2025
At least eight senatorial candidates from the administration party have been endorsed by the ruling One Cebu Party, led by reelectionist Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia.
The eight senatorial candidates are from the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas of the administration.
During a two-day Northern Caravan of the One Cebu Party, the governor publicly endorsed former senators Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, along with Las Piñas Lone District Rep. Camille Villar.
These endorsements are in addition to those she had previously made for administration-aligned candidates---Senators Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., Pia Cayetano, and Francis Tolentino; former senator Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao; and former interior secretary Benhur Abalos.
In addition to the senatorial endorsements, Governor Garcia also threw her support behind the Ako Bisaya Partylist, represented by first nominee Rep. Sonny Lagon and second nominee Carissa Garcia.
Earlier, Governor Garcia said that One Cebu Party would selectively endorse only somenot all of the senatorial candidates under the coalition aligned with the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
