Screengrab from Francis Leo Marcos

It looks like the LPGMA Partylist is clearing the air—loud and clear. The group recently issued a statement distancing itself from a certain Norman Mangusin, who also goes by the name Francis Leo Marcos.

Why the sudden clarification? Well, Francis Leo Marcos recently posted a video where he was seen wearing an LPGMA Partylist shirt. The clip also featured various groups from across the Philippines seemingly endorsing both LPGMA and Francis Leo himself. Naturally, this raised a few eyebrows and left people wondering if he was officially connected to the partylist.

But LPGMA isn't having any of it. In their official notice, they categorically denied any links to Mangusin/Marcos, stating that he is not a member, officer, or even an endorser of their group. They emphasized that any statements or actions from him do not reflect their views in any way.

With this firm stance, LPGMA hopes to put an end to any confusion surrounding the issue. So, to set the record straight: no, Francis Leo Marcos is not affiliated with LPGMA Partylist—no matter what his video might suggest.
