JOEY DE VENECIA HEARTENED BY QUIBOLOY ENDORSEMENT
Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) senatorial bet Joey de Venecia III today
gave his profuse thanks to noted evangelist Pastor Apollo Quiboloy for
endorsing his candidacy for support by his six-million strong flock, of
which an estimated three million are registered voters.
Earlier today in the sprawling compound at the foot of Mt. Apo of his
religious group Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Name Above Every Name,
Quiboloy endorsed de Venecia as his fifth candidate in a mixed slate of
candidates that also includes three other PMP bets –Senators Jinggoy
Estrada and Juan Ponce Enrile, and Congressman Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza.
“I am truly grateful to Pastor Quiboloy for giving me his vote of
confidence and for recommending me to his flock as the Kingdom’s candidate
in tomorrow’s senatorial polls. I thank God that I have gotten this and
other vital support to help me win, despite my being a total neophyte in
the political arena,” said de Venecia.
The key support from Quiboloy and his followers was preceded by
endorsements for de Venecia by former President Fidel Ramos, Kris Aquino
and Boy Abunda, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines, the
Nationalist Peoples Coalition (NPC), the LDP party, the Magdalo Group
headed by Sen. Antonio Trillanes, the Guardians Organization of Sen.
Gregorio Honasan, The Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines, the Bible Mode and Alliance of Baptist
Councils headed by Manila Rep. Benny Abante, and the Federation of Free
Workers, among others.
“These endorsements and the outpouring of support from our people during
my campaign are blessings that will inspire me to do my utmost, if it is
God’s will for me to be in the senate,” said De Venecia.
