Aspiring congresswoman Celine Pialago didn't abandon Malasakit Movement Party-list in favor of Frontliners ang BIDA Party-list.
The former Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) spokesperson made this clarification Friday morning, Feb. 11 in a Facebook post..
" Marami pa din po ang nagtatanong kung lumipat ba ako, hindi po (A lot of people are still asking if I switched party-lists, that is not the case)," wrote Pialago.
"Dinisqualify po ng Comelec ang Malasakit Party-list noong isang buwan (WALA NA PONG KAHIT NA ANONG MALASAKIT NA PARTY-LIST) kaya po kailangan maging malinaw na ang bago po nating pamilya ay ang Frontliners ang BIDA Party-list (The Commission on Elections disqualified Malasakit Party-List last month ng pinto, ngunit nagbukas siya ng sampung bintana! At dahil dyan ay binigyan ako ng pagkakataon ng panahon na muling "MAG REPRESENT" ng isang party-list (Yes God closed a door, but he opened ten windows! And because of thar I was given the opportunity to represent another party-list)," she said.
Pialago further said: "Hindi bumitaw ang mga kaibigan at leaders natin sa bagong hamon na ating kakaharapin. Tuloy-tuloy ang pagpapasalamat para sa mga frontliners ng iba't ibang barangay dito sa NCR (Our friends and leaders didn't back down against the new challenge that we are facing. We will continue showing our appreciation to the frontliners from the different barangays here in the National Capital Region)."
