Mayor Isko Moreno is ranking 2nd or 3rd in surveys. He is vocal in his patience to get to the people’s hearts. According to him, he will be visiting even the bailiwicks of the other presidential candidates as he will reach out to the Filipinos.
Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, during his visit to Cavite, Mayor Isko Moreno said that if he wins president, he is willing to make Vice Pres. Leni Robredo a member of his Cabinet if Vice President will agree to it. She is also running for president in the upcoming election as an independent candidate.
