Volunteers for Gibo founder Andrew Masigan has affirmed that Lakas Kampi frontrunner Gibo Teodoro is no longer just the ruling party’s standard-bearer but the ‘people’s candidate.’ This was his reaction after several defections were reported from the ranks of the said party.

“The composition of the party (Lakas-Kampi-CMD) can change, the members can change, the leadership can change, but the volunteers and the people who ardently support Gibo are here not because of the Lakas party, or other politicos under Lakas. We’re here for Gibo and for what he stands for,” said Masigan.

“Gibo represents new politics. In new politics, principles, honor and loyalty, plans and programs reign supreme over money, patronage, and power preservation,” he added.

Former Defence secretary and Lakas-Kampi-CMD presidential bet Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro Jr. is driving a two-sided strategy for Government to ultimately defeat the communist and Muslim autonomist rebellions that have been rocking the country for the so many years now.
