The three governors of the Negros Island Region (NIR) and other Visayas officials have reaffirmed their support to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by signing a manifesto supporting his vision for national progress.
Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson, Negros Oriental Gov. Manuel Sagarbarria and Siquijor Gov. Jake Vincent Villa were among the signatories of the manifesto, during an event organized by the “One Visayas Bloc” led by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia on Thursday, Jan. 30, in Cebu.
“We, the duly elected governors of the Visayas region, representing our respective provinces and the millions of Filipinos who call the Visayas home, stand united in our unwavering support for the administration of President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.,” the manifesto read.
The so-called “unity lunch” gathered governors from the Visayas region as well as mayors, vice mayors, councilors, provincial board members, and representatives from the Provincial Association of Barangay Councils in Cebu.
Separate manifestos of support were issued by leaders from the Visayas region to acknowledge Marcos’ commitment and achievements in nation-building. | GB
