MANILA, Philippines - San Juan Rep. JV Ejercito, a senatorial bet of UNA, urged senators Loren Legarda and Francis Escudero “not to ride on two horses.”
Ejercito, son of former President Joseph Estrada, said Legarda and Escudero should choose between UNA and the LP if they want them to be adopted as their guest candidates.
Ejercito said he and the other UNA senatorial candidates have lamented that it will be unfair for UNA candidates who have shown loyalty to the alliance if Legarda and Escudero would campaign with the LP coalition.
Vice President Jejomar Binay said Legarda and Escudero should give UNA fair treatment or lose its support.
Binay said Legarda and Escudero should give UNA the same treatment they give to the LP coalition.
