Willie Ong Open To Run For Senator If Moreno Find Better Candidate
WILLIE ONG OPEN TO RUN FOR SENATOR – Instead of running for Vice President, Willie Ong said could give up his spot for a better candidate.
Currently, Ong is supposedly the running mate of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno in the 2022 presidential elections. But, Ong said that Moreno could still change his mind if a stronger running mate is found.
According to an article from Inquirer, Ong said:
Given na sinabi niya kahapon na hindi na niya ‘ko papalitan, pero just in case magbago isip ni Mayor Isko, I told him yesterday, sabi ko, ‘Yorme, kung mayroon kang mapipiling iba, okay lang sa akin. Lagay mo ko sa Senate, papayag ako
Furthermore, he emphasized how the Manila mayor has a “freehand” in choosing his candidate. Additionally, he said that if he chooses another one, it would be fine with him.
As per the article, Ong simply wanted to “ensure the public’s health“. Along with this, he revealed that when Moreno asked him to be his vice president, Moreno only wanted him to “save Filipinos’ lives”.
Nung pinili niya ‘kong VP, wala akong hiningi kahit ano. Ang hiningi ko lang, isa, I will tell you. Hiningi ko lang, ligtas mo lang ang buhay ng milyon-milyong Pilipino. Bigay mo na sa akin ‘yung tamang budget.
