MANILA, Philippines — Senator-elect Alan Peter Cayetano, congressman for Taguig-Pateros, on Wednesday said Filipinos should give likely president-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. a chance but also said the elections will not erase issues that the Marcos family faces.

 

Cayetano and Marcos were rivals in the 2016 vice-presidential race, with the former bringing up issues of ill-gotten wealth.

 

"He was elected. He is set to be proclaimed. Give him a chance. Let's see what he does. Let's judge him later on," Cayetano said in an interview with reporters after he was proclaimed by the poll body as one of 12 winning bets in the 2022 Senate race.
