JV Ejercito withdraws from Senate race for Sonia R
San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito, one of the candidates of the United Opposition, today withdrew from the senatorial race.
One of UNO’s spokesmen, Rufus Rodriguez, said Ejercito withdrew after consultation with his father, former President Estrada, for a broader, unified coalition.
Sources said JV is giving way for the entry of Sonia Roco, widow of former Sen. Raul Roco.
Just got a text from JV:
I would like to thank you for the trust and support you have given me as a senatorial aspirant. There comes a time when you need to sacrifice for the sake of the country.
Be rest assured that I will continue standing up for what is right and what is just. Para sa Bayan!
JV is within the Magic 12 (number 9) in the latest survey of Pulse Asia on senatorial candidates.
