MANILA, Philippines — Vice presidential candidate Walden Bello, who chairs coalition Laban ng Masa, flagged the camp of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for releasing a statement calling members of socio-economic class ABC the “thinking class.”

Bello said he and the coalition “strongly reject the insinuation” that those in Class D and E are not part of the so-called “thinking class.”

“We must call on the Filipino working class to take exception to this insult, and ensure that no vote is casted for these matápobre politicians. Filipinos deserve better than anti-democratic leaders who think they are ignorant,” Bello said in a statement Sunday.
