Local leaders of the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino in Negros Occidental headed by provincial chairman Valladolid Mayor Ricardo Presbitero Jr., are adopting Governor Joseph Marañon, Vice Governor Isidro Zayco and fourth district congressional candidate Jeffrey Ferrer as their official candidates.

The United Opposition-Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino acknowledges that the platform of government espoused by the three candidates are consistent with the populist stand of the party, including all their pro-poor programs implemented in their previous terms, Presbitero said in a press statement. Presbitero said that the UNO-PMP party did not organize candidates to run against Maranon, Zayco and Ferrer because all the three have "proven their outstanding leadership and effectiveness in government administration."
