Sam Verzosa and Isko Moreno might be opponents in the Manila Mayor position
Tutok To Win Partylist Representative Sam Verzosa discussed the possibility of being actor-politician Isko Moreno’s opponent in the 2025 elections.
Isko has been in the political arena for many years already. The last position he held was mayor of Manila. Then, he tried his luck in the national elections back in 2022 when he ran for president with Dr. Willie Ong as his running partner.
However, Isko did not win the last presidential elections and he took a break from politics and went back to doing showbiz stints.
Just recently, rumors surfaced that Isko Moreno might run again as mayor of Manila. As of this writing, he has not confirmed nor denied directly these rumors about his political career. Isko just appeared to be hinting at running in the next elections.
Meanwhile, Sam Verzosa has been very vocal about his intention to run for the said position. In a recent interview, based on the article in Bandera, the boyfriend of Kapuso actress Rhian Ramos was asked about his political plans.
Sam said that he had no issue with Isko and they had been together at several events and posed for photos. Then, the congressman said that he thinks he and Isko have the same goal: to help other people.
“Masaya ako na nakilala ko siya. Ako naman ay panibagong pagtulong ito. Ang tawag dito ay malawakang pagtulong. Wala tayong ibang gagawin kundi puro kabutihan,” he said. The businessman-politician also said that it is not just about charity and charity. For him, it is also inspiring and teaching the public.
Previously, Sam expressed that he would never use his girlfriend for his political career. However, Rhian has been volunteering to join and support her boyfriend’s endeavors. In a previous interview, the actress expressed that she is ready to support Sam with his plans in politics.
