A manifesto of support endorsing the candidacy of Finance Secretary Gary Teves for vice president is reportedly in the offing after the national executive officers meeting of the Philippine Councilors League during their national convention held at the Negros Oriental Convention Center , Dumaguete City , Thursday.

Victor Ferrer Jr., PCL national president, said the endorsement was approved during the national executive officers meeting through PCL provincial federation president Peve Ligan and national vice president for the Visayas Councilor Manuel Sagarbarria, this year's host.

The manifesto of support which will be signed by 60-70 percent of councilors present who belong to the Lakas Party is also expected to be taken up during the national board meeting this year, Ferrer said.

Sagarbarria said the number of delegates is expected to reach more than 1,000 on the second day. In yesterday's registration there were 702 delegates registered.

DILG Secretary Ronaldo Puno sent his undersecretary Melchor Morales to deliver the keynote address.*JG
