This was admitted by Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran on Sunday, March 13, two days after he and some other members of GP were seen at the grand rally of presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo at the Paglaum Sports Complex in the city last Friday, March 11.
Familiaran said that aside from his congressional candidate Daniel Alfonso “Dan” Atayde, incumbent councilor Renecito Novero, Em Ang, Chris Sorongon, Cash Motalvo and Ed Guillem are also supporting Robredo’s candidacy.
Councilor Archie Baribar, meanwhile, is supporting the presidential bid of boxing champ Senator Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao, who is a close friend of Leonardia, he said, adding that other GP members are still undecided on whom to support.
Earlier, Leonardia said that he is supporting the vice presidential bid of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio but is still mum on his bet for president.
The mayor said he will announce his choice for president when the right time comes.
Despite their different choice for president, Familiaran said, GP remains intact.
The vice mayor noted that Leonardia gave them the freedom to choose whom to support for president and did not impose his own choice on them.
