'I will not vote for somebody who will just inherit the position' — Mayor Isko on 2022 presidential elections
Yep. It's not inherited. That's a fact. People vote candidates into the position. If Sara runs for president, it's up to the people if they will vote for her. However, we see how powerful these politicians have become after gaining authority, influence and wealth after their stint as a government official. They made the government their business. Kapit tuko sa kapangyarihan, ayaw ng bitawan, dahil malaki ang kitaan.
On Duterte naming him as one of his choices for the Presidency, Isko says, “If I decide to run, I’ll decide on my own not because i’m endorsed by somebody or one group, I dont want want to be part of divisiveness”
Isko revealed that he is running in the 2022 elections but he has yet to decide for which position. Isko said that for now, he is focused in fulfilling his obligation to his constituents amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Back in 2019, immediately after Isko was sworn in as Manila mayor, he was visited by PH’s top tycoons. He didn’t get this kind of treatment when he ran for Senate in 2016 where he lost. First thing that came to mind, ah, he’s being eyed as political pawn.
And we are witness to how Isko seems to be acting like a responsible Mayor who is constantly beautifying the places of Manila. But we also see him not going against popular opinions contradicting the Duterte administration. He is doing what traditional politicians are doing - aligning with the current power but still making an effort to enhance his image.
Yet he is nothing compared to Vico Sotto of Pasig. The only negative about Vico is being connected as a relative of Tito Sotto, another trapo who is siding with the current administration. Tito Sotto has more dirt in his reputation that he is not good to be seen with Vico. In fact, the Sotto last name is not something to be proud of. We don't need another showbiz character, or even boxers, in the government. In fact, we should not allow celebrities to run for government positions. Our standards for our officials should be the same as how we recruit for professionals in private companies. Qualified and with experience to boast. The government should not be their learning grounds. We deserve more than popularity.
Looks like Isko is already predicting a landslide win for Sara Duterte. He shouldn’t describe it as “inherited” if she does win because the election would make it legit. There is no law against Sara running in the first place.
You are most probably stupid if you still believe another Duterte is worth the vote. What has Sara done for the country that would make her worthy of the position. She just inherited his position as Mayor of Davao since there is nobody willing to go against the Duterte dynasty who has controlled Davao for several years already.
Would another Duterte be good for the country? Never! We've witnessed how incompetent Diving was. What more with her daughter who also has a bad reputation of beating up a sheriff.
Ayaw daw pangunahan ni Isko ang taumbayan sa pagpili ng kanilang lider but he hopes they will not be called stupid. Ang posisyon sa gobyerno, hindi minamana. Hindi daw niya iboboto yon.
Isko says government posts 'not inherited in a democratic company. But how would we get the rightful leader when dynasties have made government positions as part of their inheritance? Pass -pasa at ipinamamana by letting their relatives run in their behalf while we still see the previous leaders in control of their puppets. Just as how we see Isko as nothing more but a puppet of those tycoons willing to support him financially just to keep an upper hand. With millions of Filipinos in the country how come there's only a few candidates?
Be careful of idolizing your Mayor Isko, that pattern happened once when a Davao mayor run. Be careful with populists, they are the typical trapos who are evolving with the times
