Despite this, according to Ejercito (the son of former President Joseph Estrada, who in the last elections lost the mayoralty in Manila to Moreno) the actor-turned-politician still thanked Duterte.
“All is well. I hope. Props to @IskoMoreno for keeping his cool and even thanking PRRD,” he said in a tweet.
He said as such is the quality that leaders need to have especially in difficult situations.
“This is what we need from leaders in difficult situations—the maturity to ignore political noise, the level-headed leadership to focus on the job at hand, and the decency to do what is right,” he added.
