DIFFERENT transport groups, socio-civic, and political organizations on Sunday committed their support for the presidential bid of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) standard-bearer Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.

Lawyer Vic Rodriguez, Marcos’ chief of staff, who was the guest speaker at the meeting of the different groups held in Pasig City last Sunday, welcomed their endeavor, which he said was in line with Marcos’ unifying leadership.

“Dala ko po ang mensahe ng pagkakaisa ni presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos. Nais po niya na pagbuklurin ang lahat ng mga Pilipino. Sabi nga niya hindi maisasakatuparan ang kanyang mga plano para sa pag-unlad ng ating bansa kung kulang ang pinaka-importanteng sangkap – ang pagbubuklod at pagkakaisang-lahi bilang Pilipino,” he said.

“Samahan po ninyo ang Bongbong Marcos-Inday Sara Duterte UniTeam. Magkaisa tayo at tulungan natin sila para maisaayos natin ang transport groups, vendors at lahat ng sektor ng ating lipunan,” he added.

To signify their commitment, the leaders of the different groups signed a manifesto of support for Marcos’ candidacy.

Among the groups that attended the meeting, organized by Col. Erik Bautista, former head of the Makati Public Safety Department (MAPSA), included leaders of MATRIFED, an association of tricycle drivers; the United Transport Federation of Makati (UTFM), a jeepney association; Pedicab Association; Knight Riders Nation (KRN); and market vendors association.
