Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso wished fellow presidential candidate former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. “good luck” after his camp revealed he ran after being inspired by the marvel movie, Ant-Man.
“Ant-man, 'yan ba 'yung sa Marvel? Ang storya niyan, from magnanakaw to hero? Hindi 'yun ba 'yun? Kasi parang napanood ko 'yan nung araw. Good luck, wala akong masabi e! (Ant-Man, the Marvel movie? The story of this is a thief turned into a hero? That's it, right? I think I saw it before. Good luck, I don't know what to say!)” Moreno said in an ambush interview in Nueva Ecija.
Liza Araneta-Marcos, wife of Marcos, had earlier revealed in an interview with Boy Abunda that her husband decided to run for presidency while they were watching “Ant-Man”.
Domagoso, meanwhile, said the reason why he and his running mate, Dr. Willie Ong, decided to run in the elections was to offer real solutions to the problems of the people.
“With all honesty kasi kami ni Doc Willie, nagdesisyon kasi gusto naming i-alay ‘yung serbisyo namin (We decided to ran because we want to serve. Gusto namin i-alay ‘yung experience namin, yung mga pangarap namin sa tao (We want to dedicate our experiences and aspirations for the people),” he said.
The Aksyon Demokratiko party had earlier dared Marcos Jr. to directly answer the public about the P200-B Marcos heirs' estate tax debt.
