Magdalo party-list Rep. Gary Alejano on Thursday said he would adhere to the decision of the Magdalo executive committee on his possible senatorial run in the 2019 midterm elections.

“I am grateful for Senator Trillanes’ trust and belief on my qualifications, especially given the importance of the position in question and the responsibilities it bears,” Alejano said.
