On Thursday, May 5, seasoned actress Gladys Reyes, an Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) member, respected the decision of her church to support Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr and Davao City Mayor Sara “Inday” Duterte’s candidacies.
“Ako po at ang buo naming pamilya ay mananatiling kaisa ng aming pamamahala sa loob ng Iglesia Ni Cristo at patuloy na ipatutupad ang kaisahan, dahil ito po ay nakasulat sa banal na kasulatan, sa 1 Corinto 1:10 na wag magkabaha-bahagi at magkaroon ng isa lamang paghatol (o pagboto),” she wrote on her Instagram.
The actress then stated, “Ako po ay patuloy na maninindigan sa aking pananampalataya, dumating man ang pag-uusig, di patitinag.Higit sa lahat, sana ay manaig pa rin po ang respeto at pang-unawa sa isa’t isa, magkaiba man po ng pananaw ang iba.”
Before her statement, Reyes donned a pink attire which she posted on Instagram, leading netizens to believe that she would be giving support to Vice President Leni Robredo’s presidency.

However, the actress explained that she wore the dress not to support Robredo but to celebrate Mother’s Day.
“Huwag din po sana lagyan ng kahulugan ang kulay ng aking kasuotan nuong nakaraan, dahil yun lamang ang color motiff para sa Mothers Day Special na aming ginawa at wala na pong ibang ibig sabihin,” she explained.
INC officially endorsed Marcos and Duterte on Tuesday, May 3. the religious group also showed support to UniTeam’s senatorial aspirants Jejomar Binay, Alan Peter Cayetano, JV Ejercito, Guillermo Eleazar, Chiz Escudero, Jinggoy Estrada, Sherwin Gatchalian, Loren Legarda, Robin Padilla, Joel Villanueva, Mark Villar, and Migz Zubiri.
Their decision came after “thorough study and research.”
