MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri will remain in the senatorial slate of presidential candidate Manny Pacquiao despite the reelectionist lawmaker’s support for the bid of his opponent Bongbong Marcos, the boxing icon said.

 

Even after Zubiri endorsed Marcos during a campaign sortie in his home province of Bukidnon, Pacquiao said he will continue to support his fellow Mindanaoan to ensure the representation of southern and central Philippines in the Senate.

 

“Gusto ko manalo naman iyan dahil Mindanaoan. Ang intention ko, hindi ito pangsarili, kundi ang interes ng ating bayan,” Pacquiao said Wednesday.

 

(I want him to win because he’s from Mindanao. My intention is not personal, but for the interest of the public.)
