Paul Soriano expressed on Twitter his support for presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos. The director uploaded new photos showing his wife Toni Gonzaga, and their godfather Bongbong. Those photos were taken behind the scenes of the proclamation rally of Bongbong and Sara Duterte’s UniTeam.

Paul Soriano got bashed after posting photos of the filming of an ad for Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte’s UniTeam. One of the photos shows the clapboard for the filming of the ad dated January 8. Bongbong was then accused of violating quarantine protocols since he reported that he could not attend the January 7 COMELEC hearing on the disqualification cases against him because he was sick. Due to the accusations, Paul clarified that Bongbong was not present during the January 8 filming of the ad.
