MANILA, Philippines — The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines will formally endorse this week the candidacies of presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, it said in a news release Sunday. 

 

TUCP, which has a claimed membership of 480,000 rank-and-file workers, said union members chose the Marcos-Duterte tandem in a series of caucuses that started last year. The Philippine Trade Group Workers Organization, a group under TUCP, also endorsed Marcos in his 2016 vice-presidential run.

 

"The vote advantage of Mr. Marcos and Ms. Duterte-Carpio and with those four other pair of presidential and vice-presidential aspirants was very wide. It was an overwhelmingly majority decision in all caucuses held differently in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao," TUCP spokesperson Alan Tanjusay said in the release.
