Solon has resigned as a member of the One Cebu Party.

MANILA, Philippines – Cebu Rep. Pablo John Garcia resigned as secretary-general of One Cebu on Tuesday, after the regional party publicly endorsed former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for president.

Garcia, who is also a co-founder of One Cebu, said in a statement that he could not support the party’s choice to back Marcos for president.

“I’ve received official notification that my party, One Cebu, has endorsed a presidential candidate, a choice that, unfortunately, I cannot accept,” he stated.

Garcia stated that he will continue to support Manila Mayor Isko Moreno’s presidential quest, calling him the “most capable and best prepared to lead the country out of this multi-pronged crisis that it currently faces, and into the future.”

He said he accepts the decision of the local political party, and hoped it would respect his choice and direction for the May 2022 elections.

“In order to prevent any conflict of interest, I am standing down as secretary-general of One Cebu in order to continue actively campaigning for Mayor Isko in the remaining days of the campaign,” Garcia stated.

In the meanwhile, Congresswoman Lolypop Ouano-Dizon has been named to fill his position.

“I assure my party members that I would continue to work tirelessly for the success of all One Cebu local candidates,” he stated.

On Tuesday, officials from the One Cebu local party, led by Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, the UniTeam Alliance, and four cities formed the “One Cebu UniTeam Alliance” and “One Cebu Island UniTeam Alliance” to support Marcos and vice-presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte in their campaigns.

One Cebu committed to “provide its full and unqualified support, endorse and campaign for Marcos,” as well as “agree to give their full and unqualified support, endorse and campaign for the vice presidential candidate, Sara Z. Duterte,” according to the alliance agreement.

Marcos and Duterte expressed gratitude to One Cebu for their “invaluable” assistance, saying they were “humbled and gratified” by it.

From barangays to legislative districts to the provincial leadership, One Cebu has members at all levels of local government in the province.
