Manila Mayor Isko Moreno says he is willing to unite with fellow presidential aspirants VP Leni Robredo and senators Ping Lacson and Manny Pacquiao if it means discussing how to address the country's problems, instead of just how to win the elections
This comes amid speculations on Davao City mayor Sara Duterte joining forces with presidential aspirant and former senator Bongbong Marcos.
"If we are going to unite on the issues at hand and challenges of our people, then I'm willing, but if we're going to unite just to win because they wanted to win,[I'm iffy about it]," Moreno told CNN Philippines' Politics As Usual on Tuesday.[Because what we need to talk about are the problems of the people]," he added.
The mayor also addressed his previous spat with Robredo's supporters, which erupted after he criticized the Vice President for mentioning that she's running for president partly because of"I have moved on," he said."If they're offended, I'm no angel, but definitely, I'm not the devil. I'm just trying to stress some points."
Moreno reiterated that if elected, he will hold people accountable for their atrocities. He said this sentiment also applies to those behind alleged extrajudicial killings under Duterte's war on drugs. "[L]et's pursue it if there is liability on anybody, that includes former president, whether the family who benefited from it, whoever, especiallyMoreno also rejected rumors branding him as a"Duterte candidate" - or a secret presidential bet allied with the administration.
