Antique congresswoman and senatorial candidate Loren Legarda thanked the Iglesia ni Cristo for endorsing her in the upcoming elections.
In a statement, Legarda said: “Ako po ay taos-pusong nagpasasalamat sa tiwala at suportang ibinigay sa akin ng Kapatiran ng Iglesia ni Cristo sa pangunguna ni Ka Eduardo Manalo.
“Ang inyong pag-endorso ay aking lubos na pinapahalagahan, makakaasa po kayo sa de-kalidad na serbisyong aking patuloy na ibibigay sa sambayanang Pilipino.
“Maraming, maraming salamat po!”
Legarda was among those endorsed by the influential Iglesia ni Cristo as part of the Top 12 senatorial candidates.
The INC, known for its bloc voting, announced on Tuesday, May 3, that Legarda was among those who they will be backing as the elections approach.
The list came after it was reported that the INC reviewed all the platforms and qualifications of the senatorial aspirants.
Legarda has constantly ranked in the Senatorial surveys conducted by Pulse Asia. She and Raffy Tulfo recently led its latest polls.
Legarda, who has served three terms in the Senate and is currently serving the tail end of her first term as a representative of Antique, has been visiting cities and provinces in the final stretch of the campaign.
