Marañon, who is UNA's gubernatorial candidate, said the members of the alliance will stay united and will support the UNA provincial slate. But since they also belong to various political parties like the Lakas-Kampi-CMD, Nationalist People's Coalition and Liberal Party, they are free to support whomever they want for president and other national positions. |
