PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III’s campaigning for the Straight Path Coalition is part of his work to ensure the continuity of good governance, Malacañang said Sunday.

“President Aquino is actively campaigning for the candidates of the Daang Matuwid Coalition because he believes it is his duty to our Bosses—the Filipino people—to ensure the continuity of good governance that is essential to the attainment of inclusive growth for future generations of Filipinos,” Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said in a statement over the state-run dzRB radio.

“He is also determined to ensure the conduct of fair and credible elections by respecting the independence of the Comelec [Commission on Elections].”

Coloma made his statement in response to vice presidential candidate Senator Francis Escudero’s remark that Aquino should focus on fair elections and not on partisanship.

He said the president was also determined to ensure the conduct of fair and credible elections by respecting the independence of the Comelec.

“President Aquino and the whole government is one in having an orderly, clean and peaceful elections in May,” Coloma said.

 On Saturday, Escudero said Aquino should not have endorsed any candidate to ensure the elections would be fair.

“It would be better if he [Aquino] would just ensure there would be clean and fair elections,” Escudero said.
