ANGELES CITY – Scores of various multi-sectoral groups have joined the bandwagon behind the candidacy of Joseller “Yeng” Guiao, boosting his comeback bid as Congressman of First District of Pampanga.
This developed even as a recent poll survey showed that Guiao is ahead of Cong. Jonjon Lazatin for the congressional race.
