Doc Willie Ong To Take Vice Presidential Bid
DOC WILLIE ONG – The Celebrity Doctor will run for vice president in the Election 2022 with Mayor Isko Moreno as his running-mate.
Announcements for the next election start crossing the surface now. This October, the Commission on Election (COMELEC) is set to start receiving certificates of candidacies (COCs). Many Filipinos are eager to know who will run for president and vice president next year.
Ever since the talks about the election started, one of the people eyed to run for president is Manila Mayor Isko Moreno. However, not until recently when he confirmed his bid, the capital city’s Chief Executive maintained that his focus is the pandemic that the country is facing now.
It is no secret to the public that Mayor Isko was born into poverty and he also worked his way to the top. He is a former actor and many admire his leadership in Manila.
What came unexpected to many people is the announcement of the running-mate of Mayor Isko Moreno. For vice president, Doc Willie Ong will be in one team with him.
Doc Willie is popular for his helpful videos about health and staying fit. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, Lawyer Tony La Viña who is also a former dean of the Ateneo School of Government in Manila believes that the doctor’s vice presidential bid is a “stroke of genius”.
According to the lawyer, he expected someone who is also popular. He believes that the doctor is a “perfect choice for the pandemic”. He described him as a serious doctor and credited it as an advantage for the Moreno-Ong tandem.
La Viña believes that the Moreno-Ong tandem will dominate social media and is most appealing to the young voters. He stressed that although both the Manila Mayor and the doctor have money for their campaign, it may not be as much as the fund for a “Duterte candidate” but they are good at social media platforms.
