LAPU LAPU CITY, Cebu -- Presidential candidate and Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso on Friday, April 8, dismissed survey results, and confidently said that the public was just scared to get involved in political bashings amid the continued political scuffle between the Marcoses and Aquinos.
In an ambush interview, Domagoso said he believes that the “silent majority” will make him the country’s next president.
"Sa sobrang away nila natatakot na 'yung tao baka mawalan siya ng trabaho, baka hindi siya mabilhan sa tindahan niya o baka awayin siya ng kapitbahay niya, mawalan siya ng kaibigan, ina-unfriend siya, mapagsalitaan siya ng masakit kaya tumatahimik na lang (They are afraid that the person might lose his job, that he might not be sold at a store or that his neighbor might argue with him, that he will lose a friend, that he will be unfriended, that he maybe speak of harshly, so he just keep quiet),” he told reporters.
“Feeling ko ire-reserve nila 'yung boto nila sa takdang panahon (I think they are just reserving their votes for the right time,” the Manila mayor said.
The camp of Domagoso had earlier maintained that the presidential elections will not be just a two-way race between Vice President Leni Robredo and former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong Marcos Jr. but a three-way race with Domagoso included.
“For now I am happy they are winning the survey. Good for them but the election is on May 9,” he said.
