Meanwhile, House Deputy Speaker Eduardo “Bro. Eddie” Villanueva, a CIBAC party-list representative said JIL will not be endorsing any presidential aspirant in the coming polls.
Villanueva made the announcement during a Zoom press briefing on Monday, February 21.
“I have no plans [to do so] because we’re friends with almost all of them. So my prayer is that the Lord’s guidance to the Filipino people will prevail, that they will choose wisely and scrutinize, learn more about each candidate,” he said.
According to him, most of the contenders are friends of his son, reelectionist Sen. Joel Villanueva.
Villanueva noted that if he did not have a “clear impression from the Lord” in his heart, he could not easily make a decision on endorsing a particular candidate for president.
