CHAVIT BACKS OUT FROM SENATE RACE

Former Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson announced on Sunday that he will withdraw from the Senate race, citing health reasons.

“Matapos ang mahabang pag-iisip, ang desisyon ko po hindi na po ako tutuloy sa aking kandidatura sa Senado,” he said.

In a Facebook Live, Singson detailed how he battled pneumonia and his doctors ordered that he still needs to rest.

“Humihingi po ako ng paumanhin sa mga nagbigay ng kanilang oras, lakas at suporta para sa kampanyang ito,” he added. (Facebook/Luis Chavit Singson)
