El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Velarde indirectly endorsed the presidential bid of Nacionalista Party Standard bearer Manny Villar when he invited the former senator during the religious group's prayer rally in Hongkong.
Together with his wife, Rep. Cynthia Villar and running mate Sen. Loren Legarda, Manny Villar flew to Hongkong upon Velarde's invitation to attend the anniversary of El Shaddai's Hongkong chapter.
Villar was the only one invited by Velarde to attend the prayer rally among other presidential candidates, where the El Shaddai members wore orange and white shirts. But the El Shaddai leader clear that he don't endorse, they are going to vote as one this election so they will examine all the candidates first before voting. He and Villar are just close friends.
Velarde had earlier expressed the desire to run for the highest position in the country but decided not to push through with his presidential ambition after getting negative feedbacks from his followers.
