VALENCIA CITY, Bukidnon–Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, a one-time presidential aspirant in the coming May 9, 2022 elections, says he’s been rooting for Bongbong Marcos for a while now.
Dela Rosa, a Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) stalwart, made this admission to reporters in an ambush interview here during the inauguration of a UniTeam-Tingog Party-list headquarters.
Presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos attended the event, while Dela Rosa took part in it in lieu of the former’s running mate in the polls, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio
“Before pa naglabas ng decision ang partido namin (Even before our party made a decision), I’m already for BBM (Bongbong Marcos)-Sara. Sabi ko na yan noon pa (I’ve said that before),” the Philippine National Police (PNP) chief-turned-solon said.
Dela Rosa was referring to the PDP-Laban Cusi wing’s recent endorsement of Marcos’s presidential bid.
“But I cannot go out officially hangga’t di magpalabas ng party stance yung aming partido, lalong lalo na si (until the party release a stance, especially) Pangulong Duterte. So I was silent, but now, anong magagawa ko? (what can I do?)” he asked
