Ninety members of the House of Representatives signed a manifesto endorsing Defense Secretary Gilberto “Gibo” C. Teodoro Jr. as presidential candidate and administration bet.
According to the organizers of the meeting,they are throwing their wholehearted support to Teodoro because they genuinely believed that he possesses the leadership, integrity, credibility, competence and capability to be the country’s next president.
Zambales Rep. Mitos Magsaysay said that it is high time for the members of the House to have their voices heard as far as choosing the administration’s standard bearer is concerned.
Part of the manifesto signed by the lawmakers states that they “fully believe that he (Teodoro) is the leader who can most effectively carry out the vision, mission and ideology of the Party, best lead the nation in the coming years, who can reform and transform Philippine society and bring about lasting peace, justice and meaningful progress in our nation.” (PIA)
