On Friday, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo supported former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s presidential campaign in front of her provincial mates.

Arroyo, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, introduced Marcos to the crowd at the festival event in Pampanga.

 Arroyo stated, “Mahal kong cabalen, Kapampangan, mga kaibigan, sa ngalan ni Governor Delta Pineda, sa ngalan ni Vice Governor Nanay Baby Pindea, sa ngalan ng apat na congressmen ng Pampanga, sa ngalan ng dalawampung mayor ng Pampanga, ito na po ang susunod na PPangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas, “Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.” 

The organizers concluded a 250,000-person attendance in Pampanga.

Since then, Arroyo has supported Marcos’ campaign partner, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.

Arroyo is the emeritus president of Duterte’s Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD).

Arroyo stated that Marcos needed Duterte during his administration, remembering how, when she was still president, her then-vice president, Noli De Castro, was of considerable assistance to her.

“Kailangan ni BBM, kahit matalino siya, para maging magaling na presidente, kailangan niya si Mayor Inday Sara Duterte bilang bise presidente. ‘Yun ang isang dahilan bakit ineendorso natin si Mayor Sara,” Arroyo stated.
