“’Yung totoo,
ngayon ko lang narinig ‘yan. And then I don’t think yung Iglesia Ni Cristo is
very active sa ganoon dahil wala akong narinig sa Congress diyan,” he said.
He also said in
record that he has no ties with the influential religious group so he is not
privy to any such moves if there is any by INC.
“Unang una,
hindi ako member ng Iglesia Ni Cristo and hindi rin po nila dinala ‘yung… I
mean hindi nila in-endorse yung aking party-list noong eleksyon so wala akong
naririnig na ganoon,” he said.
Politiko reported that INC auditor-general Glicerio Santos
Jr. sent his son to directly lobby with House leaders led by Speaker Alan Peter
Cayetano to ensure ABS-CBN’s franchise wouldn’t be renewed.
