NEGROS Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said Tuesday, March 20, that Third District Representative Alfredo Benitez is more needed and fitted to be senator.
“Okay man, if he will be governor because he can do a lot for Negros but he is needed more in the Senate, he is better than those actors who have done nothing there,” Marañon said.
Marañon made the statement when asked if Benitez’s visit to the Governor's Office last Friday was allegedly for “tutorial.”
“It's more of an advice rather than a tutor,” he said.
He said Benitez also wants to run for senator because his programs are for national in scope.
Marañon said he will support Benitez’s political plans in 2019, either to run for senator or governor.
Benitez has yet to confirm his decision for the 2019 elections.
