Gary Alejano Claims OFWs Supports Him: “Sila ang Lumalapit Samin kung Paano Mag-Contribute”

Magdalo Representative Gary Alejano claimed that Overseas Filipino Workers contributed a lot of money to fund his senatorial campaign.

In an interview with CNN Philippines, Alejano thanked his supporters overseas who asked his campaign team on how they can contribute to the lawmaker.

“Sila (OFWs) kasi ang may trabaho at nagco-communicate sa amin kung paano sila mag-contribute. So nagpapasalamat kami sa kanila,” Alejano said.

Alejano also claimed that he spent millions of his personal money on his campaign, but trying to control himself because he’s also thinking about the future of his family.

But he said that if ever he wins the election, he would not commit any illegal acts to earn back the money he spent.

“Sinabi sa amin mag-impok ka para pagdating ng eleksiyon hindi na mahirap. Pero the way you save money or you prepare, saan mo kukunin ‘yun? Maraming mga puwedeng raket na puwedeng gawin diyan,” said Alejano.

“Pero we have committed to ourselves that we should not play the traditional rules of the game. Huwag tayong mag-commit ng korapsiyon because the moment we do that, wala na ‘yung ating ipinaglalaban. Anong use ng nasa puwesto ka wala naman yung sarili mo. So nilalabanan namin lagi ‘yun na we stick to our principles, we go to the people directly,” he added.
