Roman Romulo, who authored (and later disavowed) two education bills, has been endorsed by the man who removed Ferdinand Marcos from power in the Philippines.
As a member of 14th, 15th, and 16th Congress, Romulo authored 59 bills and co-authored 34 bills. He was endorsed by former Senate President Jovito Salonga and supported by former Pasig mayor Vicente Eusebio but lost to Robert Jaworski Jr., who won by a slim margin. Jovito "Jovy" Reyes Salonga (June 22, 1920  March 10, 2016) was a Filipino statesman and lawyer, as well as a leading opposition leader during the regime of Ferdinand Marcos from the declaration of martial law in 1972 until the People Power Revolution in 1986, which removed Marcos from power.
