Chips off the Old Bloc: The Fates of 8 Past Candidates Endorsed by the INC

4. Ferdinand Marcos (President, 1986)

Ferdinand Marcos was endorsed by the INC each time he won, which makes his loss in 1986 to Corazon Aquino all the more glaring.

3. Danding Cojuangco (President, 1992)

Danding Cojuangco was a distant third to FVR and Miriam Defensor-Santiago, despite polling very well initially. Danding is the first candidate people cite when questioning the power of the INC’s bloc voting.

2. Joseph Estrada (President, 1998)

While INC easily helped Erap win in 1998, nobody could have predicted he wouldn’t even finish his term before he would be ousted.

1. Mar Roxas (Vice-President, 2010)

Like PNoy, Mar was also endorsed by the INC in 2010, but he lost to Jejomar Binay. That’s unfortunate, because Pastor Quiboloy also endorsed Mar in 2010. You would think two churches invoking God to bless their candidate would guarantee victory, but you would be mistaken.
