BACOLOD CITY—The influential Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) has informed Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson that it is endorsing his reelection bid, according to Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz on Tuesday (May 3).
INC endorsement is being sought after especially by candidates in local races because the religious group was said to vote as a bloc.
Toboso Mayor Richard Jaojoco said the INC is also endorsing the mayoral run of his wife, Madonnah Marañon Jaojoco, and her running mate, Maria Luisa dela Cruz.
INC has also officially endorsed the re-election bid of Isabela Mayor Irene Montilla and her running mate Juan Miguel Montilla.
INC is expected to officially announce the candidates it will endorse on Wednesday, a source said.
