Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson yesterday confirmed a meeting with former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on November 10.
Lacson said he was invited to dinner with the former president and her husband, Mike Arroyo, in honor of their guest, Rose Lacson.
Asked if the mid-term elections in 2025 were discussed, Lacson stressed “No politics at the dinner table.”
Lacson announced earlier his planned bid for reelection as governor of Negros Occidental in 2025, which supported by the United Negros Alliance, Negros ACE (Association of Chief Executives) president Javier Miguel Benitez, who is the mayor of Victorias City, and Bacolod City Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez.
UNegA secretary general Salvador Escalante Jr. said that the endorsements goes with the notion that “the coalition between UNegA and Love Negros is very strong.”
“We are satisfied enough with the performance of the governor and we will continue our support for his reelection bid in the coming 2025 elections,” he stressed.*
