Chiz tells Grace he never left FPJ’s side
Despite intrigues from opponents, Senator Grace Poe is confident about her team mate, Senator Chiz Escudero.
According to Poe, Escudero has proved his loyalty as a friend during the time when her father, Fernando Poe, Jr., ran in 2004 against Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Every time Poe introduces Escudero during campaign rallies, she never fails to mention her team mate’s loyalty to his father.
“Bilang inyong kababayan na naririto hinihingi ko rin ang tulong ninyo para sa ating mga kasama ngayon. Si Senator Chiz na matagal na nating kaibigan, na hindi iniwan si FPJ, na matalino, magaling at may paninindigan,” Poe said in her speech in Pangasinan recently.
If you recall, Escudero was FPJ’s spokesman during the 2004 elections.
Esudero said that he and Grace have the longest-running friendship compare to the other presidential and vice-presidential tandems in May’s elections.
Escudero says that his and Poe’s tandem is not merely for “political convenience.”
“Lahat ng tandem maski na isa-isahin pa natin, lahat sila ay bagong kilala lang naman at ngayon lang yata nagkasama. Kaya siguro ang puntirya ng black propaganda at paninira ay sa amin dahil kami ang may pinakamalalim at mahabang pinagsamahan,” Escudero said in an interview.
