The President recently lashed at a mayor of an LGU in NCR, whom he did not name, due to the local chief executive’s disorganized manner in distributing aid.
President Duterte attributed the alleged behavior of the mayor to his colorful past, which included posing in front of the camera in scanty clothing.
The President then questioned the moral ascendancy of the mayor to lead, asking everyone if that is the kind of leader they wanted.
While President Duterte did not mention the name of Mayor Isko, the local chief executive is the only one in the NCR who had a showbiz background. His past photos included those showing him dressed scantily.
For Governor Remulla, however, that is not the issue.
“Hindi ito isyu (This is not an issue). What’s important is that Yorme NEVER LIED, DID NOT STEAL, KILL nor did he ever brought shame to the great people of Manila as a public servant,” the Cavite Governor said.

Remulla also said that Mayor Isko was very young at that time and limelight can be very tempting for him particularly as he came from a very poor family.
“He was very young then. I am sure the limelight was quite tempting for a young lad from a very poor background. And why not? The opportunity for him to earn a living was readily available,” Governor Remulla said.
The Cavite governor, who once traded barbs with Mayor Isko in April of this year, said that the issue should be about a person’s capability in public service and not his past.
“Ang paghatol sa kalaban sa pulitika ay dapat tungkol sa kaniyang kakayanan bilang Serbisyo Publiko at hindi paninira lamang base sa kaniyang nakaraan o noong siya ay bata pa,” Governor Jonvic said.
The governor said that while he and Mayor Isko had a word war in summer of this year, neither of them turned to ad hominem attacks.
