Nilinaw ni Senate President Vicente Sotto III na wala pa hanggang ngayon na iniendorsong presidential candidate ang Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC).
Ito ang sinabi ni Sotto, na tumatakbong vice presidential candidate bilang tugon sa naglabasang maling balita aniya na may tinukoy nang susuportahang presidential candidate ang NPC.
“Let me make this clear: the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) has not endorsed any presidential candidate. While regional and/or provincial chapters may have their preferred list of candidates, such choices do not reflect the NPC as a NATIONAL coalition of political allies and people’s groups,” sabi nito.
“Thus, it is disappointing how a reputable news organization can spin a LOCAL/PROVINCIAL story and twist it in favor of certain candidates by using a misleading title/head. News about the support of our entire organization, with an emphasis that I chair the NPC, is an unacceptable and desperate move to optimize lies and exaggerated optics. We should not allow this to continue to happen, lest the freedom of the press that the Filipino people value gets misused and abused,” dagdag pa ni Sotto.
Sinabi pa ng lider ng Senado na malaking kasinungalingan sa ngalan ni dating businessman Danding Cojuangco na siyang nagtatag ng NPC ang paggamit ng naturang partido sa maling paraan.
“The late Danding Cojuanco founded NPC. It is a dishonor to his name and legacy to support another party to gain personal favors,” giit pa ni Sotto.
