Camp of Presumptive President Bongbong Marcos Speaks on Possibility of Appointing Losing Candidates
BONGBONG MARCOS – The camp of the presumptive president spoke on the possibility of appointing losing 2022 Elections candidates.
Local and national elections were held in the Philippines last May 9. Millions of Filipinos headed to their voting precincts to cast their votes for the candidate they support. It was an automated poll.
Most of the voting precincts closed at 7:00 p.m. during the election day while others had a little extension. Shortly after most of the voting precincts closed, partial and unofficial results were posted.
Former Senator Bongbong Marcos, the front-runner of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, is leading the presidential election based on the partial and unofficial results. Ten candidates vied for the presidency.
After 98% of the votes has been canvassed, the camp of Marcos Jr. declared victory over the Elections 2022. Meanwhile, his camp maintains that they are still in the process of screening the possible appointees for his cabinet.
Atty. Vic Rodriguez, the spokesperson of presumptive president Bongbong Marcos, confirmed the possibility of appointing losing candidates in the 2022 Elections. However, based on a report on ABS-CBN News, under the law, losing candidates can only be appointed a year after the elections.
Rodriguez revealed that they are looking at some “possible personalities” among the candidates but stressed his belief that most of them would surely like to enjoy their much needed vacation for a year.
Furthermore, the spokesperson of presumptive president Bongbong Marcos explained that it is not good to drop names without having talked to the possible appointees. He stressed that their camp has always been respectful of the preference and choice of the people. According to him, after May 9, Marcos Jr.’s camp no longer talks about political colors.
