Marcos, Roxas, Poe sons exchange good luck tweets on eve of elections
The sons of presidential candidates Senator Grace Poe, former Interior Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas II, and vice presidential bet Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. exchanged good luck tweets with one another on the eve of Election Day, GMA News' "24 Oras" reported on Monday.
In a tweet on Sunday, May 8, Bongbong Marcos's son Sandro wished his cousin Paolo Roxas, Mar Roxas' son, good luck and said that he hopes to see the latter after the elections.
Sandro's mother, Atty. Liza Araneta-Marcos, is a cousin of Mar Roxas.
@PaoloRoxasPH Pao! Long time no talk, but just wanted to wish you guys the best of luck for tomorrow. Hope to see you around after! :)

In response, Paolo also wished Sandro good luck.

In an earlier tweet, Sandro also wished Grace Poe's son Brian good luck.
@BrianPoeLl hey buddy, just wanted to wish you and your mom the best of luck on Monday. Hope to see you soon pinsan!! Hahaha

In his reply, Brian jokingly called Sandro his cousin and said: "Let's pray for a clean fight!"
Senators Poe and Marcos have been rumored to be siblings, something that both lawmakers took lightly until Poe's cousin Sheryl Cruz called for a stop to the gossip.

In an interview aired on GMA News's "24 Oras," the younger Marcos called the exchange over Twitter "good vibes."
"Pinsan ko po si Paolo, matagal na rin kami seatmates tuwing SONA (State of the Nation Address) ni Brian. Good vibes lang," he said. —Jon Viktor Cabuenas/NB, GMA News
