Vegafria praised Pacquiao and Moreno as shining examples of brand new leaders. His full post on Facebook:


"By some uncanny twist of fate, two of the country's respected and well-loved public servants accidentally crossed paths recently.

"Most of us know that both of them started from humble beginnings, and through sheer hard work, reinvented themselves to success and greatness in their respective fields.

"Both doers and men of action, they are also exemplary testaments to the fact that great leaders do not have to be rich, or amass Phd degrees or other fancy titles to validate their worth.

"Because of their hardships and struggles, they know what it really takes to truly sympathize with the plight of the poor and the masses.

"Senator Pacquiao and Mayor Isko are both shining examples of Filipino resiliency, and their sincerity, generosity and genuine concern for their constituents elevate them above their peers.

"These are the new brand of leaders who we need during these trying times," Vegafria said.
