SENATORIAL candidates of the administration's Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas on Thursday defended President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s attacks against the senatorial aspirants aligned with former president Rodrigo Duterte, saying the chief executive was merely "stating facts" and expressing his own opinion.
At a press conference ahead of their proclamation rally in Iloilo City, former Senate president Tito Sotto said that Marcos was "not a candidate" and was entitled to his opinion.
