@piaranada "Binanggit 'yung Marcos stance na para kay Mayor Isko is not even true; hindi 'yun ang kanyang talagang stance, at parang linalagay siya sa masamang lugar," Ramel said.
@piaranada Ramel said Moreno wanted to point out that they should focus on gut issues such as livelihood, food, and health; instead of playing the same narratives as before.
@piaranada Ramel on Moreno's intention calling the other camp 'yellowtards': Laging sila na lang ba ang tama? There are other voices that should be heard.
@piaranada If the Robredo camp does not agree with Moreno's stances, 'why did their camp initiate the talks where the push was to make Isko Morneo run for president and Manny Pacquiao for vice president?'
