The party passed a resolution endorsing Marcos as its standard-bearer during its national convention in Tupi, South Cotabato.


PFP General Council George Briones said the party endorsed the son of former president Ferdinand Marcos because it was what the members wanted.


Meeting Marcos for the first time, Briones described him as someone who is intelligent, educated, down-to-earth, not foul-mouthed and has a great sense of humor.


"All of us brought notebooks, fountain pens. We took down notes," he said in a statement in Filipino.

"Siya (Bongbong) din meron, pinag-aaralan niya ang Partido Federal ng Pilipinas," Briones added.


He told Marcos that because the PFP is only three years old, it was not involved in any corruption or criminal cases and "does not carry any excess baggage."


The PFP is a national party approved by the Commission on Elections in 2018 and claims a nationwide membership of 1.5 million. Around 300 of its members won in the 2019 elections.


Briones said it has a bailiwick in Mindanao down to the municipal level and an active national youth organization.


The party's platform is to have a drug-free, insurgency-free, corruption-free and poverty-free society.


The post for PFP chairman was left vacant since it is being reserved for Marcos in case he decides to join the party.
