According to Garcia, he will continue to support Moreno who he sees as the “most capable and best prepared to lead the country out of this many-pronged crisis that it now faces, and into the future.”
“Na-touch nga ako eh,” Moreno said in an ambush interview at Porac Municipal Hall.

“Masaya ako na si Congressman PJ Garcia, hindi lang niya ako pinaglaban ng mahabang panahon, nag-stay pa siya sa pagtulong sa amin,” Moreno added.
(I am happy that Congressman PJ Garcia, he did not just fight for me for a long time, he even stayed and helped us.)
