CEBU CITY — A group in Cebu is pushing for the tandem of presidential aspirant Isko Moreno and vice-presidential candidate Sara Duterte-Carpio.
Nick Malazarte, head of Ikaw Muna (IM) Pilipinas Visayas, said there was a huge support for Moreno and Carpio in Cebu and the entire Visayas.
He said he would lobby with the national IM organization to also support Moreno and Carpio.
“I have crisscrossed all our chapters in the Visayas area and they are all calling for an Isko-Sara combination,” said Malazarte in a press conference Wednesday in this city.
IM Pilipinas is the lead group pushing for the presidential campaign of Moreno.
In Cebu, Malazarte said the group’s 2,000 members are mostly incumbent and former barangay officials.
Out of respect to Moreno, Malazarte said they would not have any problem with the presence of his vice-presidential candidate, Willie Ong.
“Without prejudice to the affiliation of these two candidates (Moreno and Carpio) as they are bound to bring their running mates in the political party, both are decent people and they will never drop their running mates,” Malazarte said.
