Presidential aspirant Senator Ping Lacson and his running mate Senate President Tito Sotto met with Cebu businessman Winston Garcia, who is also the brother of Cebu governor Gwen Garcia.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 10) — Presidential aspirant Senator Ping Lacson and his running mate Senate President Tito Sotto met with Cebu businessman Winston Garcia, who is also the brother of Cebu governor Gwen Garcia.

Lacson's camp, citing a media interview, on Friday said younger Garcia called the tandem his "sentimental favorite" and the "most decent so far" among those vying for the country's top posts in next year's elections.

"We'll seek the endorsement of everyone from the governor to the lowest member of the government, but more importantly, ang makapangyarihang mamamayan ng (the powerful citizens of) Cebu," Sotto told reporters at his campaign headquarters earlier.

Lacson stressed that though they seek the support of all sectors, the tandem's self-respect, dignity, and principles will remain intact.

Garcia was also the former manager and president of the Government Service Insurance System from January 2001 to September 2010.

His sister, Gov. Garcia, recently said she is not yet endorsing any presidential aspirant despite previously meeting with former senator Bongbong Marcos in October.
