"Sa aking pagendorso, ang tanging hiling ko ay mapanatili ang kanilang katapatan at pagmamahal sa bansa," said Marcos.
Marcos mentioned that he believes that everyone has their own unique abilities to significantly contribute to the nation.
He further added that if everyone works hand in hand, the efforts toward a better future will be greatly accelerated.
The announced line up is composed of veteran senators, former members of the Congress, Local Government Unit (LGU) officials, and others who served as members of the Cabinet.
