Straight from the horse’s mouth, Bongbong Marcos in his official statement denies rumors and speculations that he was announcing his candidacy last weekend at Pangasinan.
“I have been hearing so many dates of my supposed declaration of my plans for 2016. Unless you hear it directly from me, do not believe (sic). As I said before, I believe these false advisories being spread by an unscrupulous group are intentional and meant to put my name in a bad light,” Bongbong said.
“This is similar to an earlier allegation that I would declare my candidacy at the Philippine Arena last September 20. What made matters worse is that I received reports that people were promised money for their attendance in the event.
“I had already issued an official statement to set the record straight that such report is simply untrue and that I have nothing to do with it. Apparently, this is not enough to dissuade the dirty tricks directed against me.”
Apparently irked, he added, “Let me reiterate: I have not authorized anyone to speak on my behalf regarding my plans for 2016. When I reach a decision on this matter, you will hear it not from anybody else but directly from me.”/with reports from the Office of Sen. Bongbong Marcos
