Will Francis Leo Marcos back out of the senatorial race?
FRANCIS LEO MARCOS – The social media influencer will not withdraw his senatorial bid.
The senatorial slot is one of the coveted positions during the national elections.
This year, out of hundreds who filed their Certificate of Candidacy (COC) only 12 will be elected.
Among those who are rooting for a senatorial slot in the coming elections are ordinary citizens, elite individuals, and prominent personalities.
One of which is no less than social media influencer Francis Leo Marcos or FLM.
On Easter Sunday, his supporters held a grand caravan that started at the Quirino Grandstand.
The caravan was headed by Filipino Family Club, Inc. (FFCI) and Francis Leo Marcos for Senator Movement, which pushed the candidacy of the renowned personality.
The caravan was peaceful and those who joined did not bear the heat of the sun while riding a motorcycle. They carried the slogan of the senatorial candidate: “Bagong Mukha. Bagong Pag-Asa.”
Francis Leo Marcos rose to fame with his viral vlog titled “Mayaman Challenge” wherein he’s giving rice and money.
He also made a buzz after being accused of scamming which was debunked by his team who said that it was just propaganda.
Marcos is currently in jail but still continues with his charity work.
Here’s the official statement of FLM according to his Spokesperson/Chief Legal Counsel:
Ito ang mensaheng gustong iparating ni Francis Leo Marcos sa bawat Pilipino. Siya po ay kasalukuyang nakakulong ngunit sa kabila ng kanyang kalagayan at pinagdadaanan ngayon ay hindi po ito naging hadlang sa kanyang mithiin na makapaglingkod sa bayan lalung-lalo na po sa mga mahihirap at pati na rin sa mga middle income family.
Ipinapangako ni FLM ang masaganang hapag kainan at murang mga bilihin sa pamamagitan ng pagtanggal ng buwis sa lahat ng uri ng pagkain hindi lang galing sa palengke pati mga delata at galing sa restoran dahil karapatan ng bawat Pilipino ang makakain ng masasarap at masusustansyang pagkain.
Tutulungan din niya ang mga magsasaka sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng mga libreng punla upang makapagtanim ng mga higanteng gulay gaya ng kalabasa, talong at okra para lahat ay may sapat na pagkain at hindi na kailangan mag-angkat pa.
Magbibigay din siya ng mga libreng fertilizer o abono sa lupa para magkaroon nang sapat na supply ng bigas at mga gulay at palalakasin ang mga patubig at isusulong ang mga reporma sa agrikultura.
Ang sabi ni Dr. Jose Rizal, ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan. Pero nais baguhin ito ni FLM. Para sa kanya, ang kabataan na may sapat at kalidad na edukasyon ang pag-asa ng bayan.
