Ejercito, Gatchalian, and Escudero are party mates of Sotto in the Nationalist People’s Coalition.
“I’ll be consulting with my party mates re: my candidacy with Ping and lineup on the 28th,” he said.
“Am so humbled and honored by the endorsement of SP Sotto and Sen Ping. Am sure it is not just because we have this special bonding kaming 3 as Andres Bonifacio club but because they have seen first hand our commitment and dedication when it comes to the work expected of a legislator,” Villanueva said.
