Borgy Manotoc to run for mayor of Manila


Former First Lady Imelda Marcos has given up her candidacy for mayor in Manila to give way to her grandson, Borgy Manotoc, Ilocos Norte Rep. Imee Marcos said Monday.

The congresswoman said that she convinced her mother to make way for Manotoc since he can serve the people of Manila better.

"My Mom figured that since she wasn't getting any younger that it should be Borgy who runs and she be the campaign manager," Marcos told ABS-CBN.

"Borgy is a better politician than I am when it comes to dealing with people. I have no doubt he can handle the pressures of politics on his own. He's mature enough," she added.

Marcos said her 20-year-old son, who is also a model by profession, would get votes from young people, especially those in the depressed areas of Tondo, Manila. "Borgy is not just a Marcos. He's a Manotoc and the Manotocs are from Gagalangin, Tondo," she added.

At least six candidates have reportedly aired plans to run for the mayoral seat next year including Vice-Mayor Danny Lacuña, Ali Atienza, former Manila Rep. Mark Jimenez, Rep. Joey Hizon of the fifth district of Manila, and Senators Alfredo Lim and Panfilo Lacson.

grabe talaga, wala na maisip na iba itong mga Marcoses geez

what's wrong with Borgy? is it because he's related to the marcoses that he will not be a good mayor? good thing Imelda is not running anymore!!! c'mon a lot of politicians have emerged not related to marcos or aquino or ramos or arroyo, etc. and yet they are still worse tsk tsk tsk!

[CLAVEL3699]

isa lang masasabi ko hindi sya mayabang in person.

di mo akalain marcos-manotoc sya

[niky]

What's wrong with a 20 year old being the mayor of Manila... hmmmm... can't think of it... wait, it's going to come to me....

Maybe... gasp, he needs more experience?

Paano ka ba nagha-hire ng empleyado sa kumpanya? Ganyan din yan. The problem with certain voters is that they don't know how to set QUALIFICATIONS for the job opening. And when they band together and become the majority, you will end up with people like JINGGOY ESTRADA at the Senate.

[Syuryuken]

Ano na bang nangyayari dito sa pinas puro artista na ang mga pulitiko. Yung mga may pinag-aralan silang takot tumakbo tsk tsk tsk.

[mazdamazda]

My gulay... he doesn't even have a shred of work experience outside of showbiz.

I would have appreciated if he ran as a councilor first and rising up the ranks.

If he ever wins the said election - guess who'll be breathing down his neck and dictating from "experience" on what to do.

Go Mayor Fred Lim! :jump:

[BoyFerrari]

Mga botante ang may kasalanan niyan. Dapat kasi, baguhin nila yung minimum requirement para sa mga kandidato para naman ma-proteksyonan tayo sa mga hunghang na botante. Lugi kasi tayo eh, ang dami nila.

[oliver1013]

hehheehhe

[Bogeyman]

Pag si Borgy ang naging mayor, lahat ng residente ng Maynila eh bibigyan ng modeling contract. Pati wardrobe, sagot na ng city hall. :bwahaha:

what's wrong with Borgy?

Cue Brad Pitt's Achilles from Troy: "Is there no one else?"

[oldblue]

ok yan para naman maging Model City ang Manila

Dapat hindi lang sa Maynila bagohin na requirement sa mga Elective officials at least Artista, Model, TV personality, Sikat na Boxer, Singer and Not Academic Professional kundi Profesional Swindler, Killer, Kurakot Expert at sila lahat magaling sa Zarzuela di ba , Kasi sa tingin ko wala na namang mangyari sa Pinas kundi Puro parepareho lang naman lahat mga Lider Dito sa Atin , Kawawa naman. Sa bagay Bigtime naman tayong mga Pinoy biruin nyo naman taonang budget ng Gobyerno Trilion na saan ka pa dito ka na satin masaya naman di ba. Kaya karamihan sa atin mga Pinoy nabubuhay sa utang ganoon din tung Bansa natin . Mabuhay Tayong Mga Pinoy HEHEY!!!!

[BoEinG_747]

[OTEP]

Going pa lang ba? Matagal na atang gone to the dogs ang Manila. Sana nga nasa Marikina na lang ang UST so I don't have to go to Manila. hehehe.

Sa baywalk lang kapag umaga, talagang sa tapat pa ng NO PARKING paparada yung sasakyan ni Atienza. Sa haba ba naman ng baywalk talagang kailangan pang tumapat sa no parking. Ano ba namang example iyan.

Kapag kumukuha ko ng vaccine sa city hall, para kong nasa palengke.

[Isuzoom]

hayyyy wala na talaga pagaasa ang manila.

[NightRock]

Ayos yan si Borgy...baka humabol si JR hehehe suntukan ulit sila
