Cainta mayor Kit Nieto’s reelection bid has received a huge boost with an endorsement from Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Nieto thanked the influential religious sect for endorsing him and his running mate, Ace Servillon, in a Facebook post on May 2.

“Sa ikatlong pagkakataon, andyan pa rin po kayo.. hindi niyo po ako kailanman pinagkaitan…maraming salamat sa suportang muli ninyong pinagkaloob sa akin at sa aking bagong vice mayor, Ace Bernardo Servillon.. maraming maraming salamat po sa Kapatiran ng Iglesia ni Cristo…,” he said.

The Iglesia Ni Cristo is known for voting as a bloc for candidates endorsed by its leaders during the elections.

Nieto is running against Vice Mayor Pia Velasco for mayor.
