“The more the merrier, right?” Estrada said, adding he had “nothing to prove anymore” as he had beaten Lim and Villar in different elections.

Estrada defeated Lim in two consecutive mayoral contests. Villar, meanwhile, placed third in the 2010 presidential race where Estrada landed second after Benigno Aquino III.
