"Ang sabi ko kay Mayor Isko, pagpasok ko noong September, I will be myself. Hindi ako maninira sa iba. Yung opinion niya, siyempre, hindi ko naman opinion. Iyon yung experience niya. Hindi naman ako kasali sa usapan," he said.
It can be recalled that Mayor Isko called for VP Leni to withdraw from the race.
He made the call during a presscon where he, Sen. Ping Lacson, Norberto Gonzales, Doc Willie Ong and Tito Sotto were also present.
