MANILA — The die is cast, so to speak, when former Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez filed on Tuesday (08 Oct 2024) his certificate of candidacy (COC) for senator before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) at the Manila Hotel Tent City.
Rodriguez, who only served three months as executive secretary of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., is now identified as an ally of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
He previously served as Marcos Jr.’s campaign spokesperson.
Rodriguez was also the executive vice president and general campaign manager of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) during the Marcos 2022 campaign.
Ironically, he was also booted out of the President’s party.
