MANILA, Philippines (Updated 4:12 p.m.) — Partido Reporma said Thursday that it is now backing the bid of Vice President Leni Robredo for the country's highest executive position, noting that her ideals are in line with the political party's thrust. 

 

Partido Reporma, founded by ex-Defense Secretary Renato de Villa, earlier supported the presidential bid of Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson who resigned from the party and now runs as an independent candidate. 

 

"We reasonably believe that the only realistic option at this point, with roughly a month and a half left, is to converge with Leni Robredo’s campaign. Together, we will pursue the realization of our collective aspirations to improve the chances of ordinary Filipinos at a better life," Partido Reporma President and former House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez said in a statement.
