Nationalist People’s Coalition spokesman Rep. Rex Gatchalian reiterated today the party’s “unflinching support” for the vice presidential candidacy of Sen. Loren B. Legarda amid the latest Social Weather Stations survey results showing her trailing her closest rival.
“We stand solidly behind Senator Loren in her bid to capture the vice presidency in the May elections,” Gatchalian said.
“The NPC is working very hard and leaving nothing to chance in the coming elections. We support Sen. Legarda all the way and we have given instructions to party leaders from the national down to the local levels to extend all possible assistance to her nationwide campaign,” Gatchalian disclosed.
Gatchalian said the Filipino electorate recognizes the Nationalist People’s Coalition as a major player in Philippine politics and the party will strive to maintain and even surpass its good showing in previous elections.
“As our vice-presidential standard bearer, Sen. Loren enjoys the trust and confidence of the party leadership and rank-and-file. She has an excellent platform anchored on a green Philippines which the party resolutely believes in,” Gatchalian said.
“Sen. Loren is supremely qualified to be the next vice-president based on her track record as a senator and her proven leadership. We need someone like her to take pro-active steps towards good governance, environmental protection, womens’ and children’s rights and welfare, and a just and lasting peace, which she has tirelessly taken up as her main advocacies since her days as a broadcast journalist and now as a senator,” Gatchalian said.
