JOEY MARQUEZ GUNNING FOR THE SENATE
Paranaque, Oct. 9, 1997 - Mayor Joey Marquez, former PBA cager and actor, is expecting to be anointed official senatorial candidate of the ruling LAKAS party. Marquez, also known as the husband of sexy star Alma Moreno, placed Number 4 in a nationwide survey of possible senatorial candidates last August.
Groups that have expressed support for his senatorial bid are: the Vice Mayors' League of the Philippines, the Councilors' League of the Philippines and the nationwide Liga ng mga Barangay.
Marquez will have to make up his mind soon about running for the Senate or seeking re- election as Paranaque mayor. The law requires that he resigns as mayor on January 11, 1998 should he seek a higher office.
Although Alma Moreno (Mrs. Joey Marquez) has not made a statement on the matter, she had been very vocal about supporting any plans of Mayor Marquez "that would mean being of help to a greater number of citizens, not just in Paranaque, but all over the country."
