Hundreds of supporters join Marcos in Baclaran church

Unlike the turnout of their call to "Occupy Luneta," hundreds of supporters clad in red went to the Baclaran Redemptorist church in Parañaque City to show their support to vice-presidential candidate Sen. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.

The senator was accompanied by her mother Ilocos Norte 2nd District Imelda Marcos and his cousin, Leyte 1st District Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.

Marcos' son, Sandro, was also with the vice-presidential candidate.

The church, which has a seating capacity of 2,000, was occupied mostly by Marcos supporters.

The number was way bigger compared to the turnout of supporters who answered the call to "Occupy Luneta" last week.

As the Mass ended, their supporters mobbed the members of the Marcos family while shouting the initials of their candidate "BBM."

Several supporters also raised the hand sign "V," as believe that Marcos will win the vice-presidential election.

In an invitation to the media, Marcos' camp said the Mass was for truth and integrity of the May 9 elections.

The senator had called on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting to stop the quick count.

Marcos led for a few hours in the early unofficial count based on data from the Comelec's transparency server.

Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo took the lead from Marcos in the wee hours of May 10.

As of 3:45 p.m. Sunday, Robredo was still leading by more than 200,000 VOTES.

The congresswoman had 14,022,625 votes while Marcos had 13,803,372 votes. —ALG, GMA News
