MANILA, Philippines - Showbiz glitterati, who call themselves “The Greenies” (the green celebrities) led by Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto and Miriam Quiambao officially announced their support for the presidential candidacy of Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro.
“For the past several months, each of us observed and listened to all the candidates as they presented their platforms and plans for the country and all of us have come to conclusion that it is only Gibo Teodoro who is capable to lead our country towards recovery and progress,” Ruffa said.
“Gibo is the only candidate who has presented a clear, realistic and workable plan for our country. While others have presented eye-catching plans through media advertisements and entertainment shows, Gibo made known his platform directly to the people. Gibo has a good track record of service and leadership. He is a former congressman, Defense secretary and National Disaster Coordinating Council chairman. He has an enviable service to the people. He has touched and reached out to all sectors of society to protect their rights and help improve their lives.”
Ruffa added, “Gibo and his immediate family were never linked to corrupt practices or human rights violations. They have never used their influence to serve their own personal interests. Gibo only has the interests of the Filipino people in mind. During the past months, all of us were witness to the positive campaign of Gibo. His affiliations may have been attacked and maligned but he never flinched off the direction he has built that is to improve the lives of Filipinos. He believes that we Filipinos need each other to rebuild our nation. This is why we in the industry want to do our share for our country. We are endorsing the presidency of Gibo Teodoro — the only candidate who is capable of turning the country around for the better.”
