MANILA, Philippines – “Kung sakali, mga kaibigan, ako ang tipo ninyo, at hindi ninyo iboboto si Erap. Huwag ninyo na akong ibotong Vice Mayor.” If ever you intend to vote for me, my friends, and not vote for Erap– do me a favor and don’t vote for me at all.
Re-electionist Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno asked Manila voters to spare him the vice mayoral seat if they will not vote for former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada.
Calling Estrada’s rival for mayor incumbent Mayor Alfredo Lim, “Lolong“, Moreno says it’s a purgatory he would rather not endure. Lolong is the name of the largest crocodile in the world caught in the Philippines. The crocodile has long been a symbol of corrupt government officials in the country.
