Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla revealed that some middlemen of presidential aspirants for the 2022 national elections are starting to reach out for support in Cavite.
“Marami na ang mga namamagitan para sa mga may ambisyong tumakbo bilang pangulo. Gustong humarap sa akin, makipag-usap at kumuha ng suporta para sa darating na halalan,” Remulla said in a Facebook post.
The governor however said that he is not interested in meeting them yet.

“So far, wala po akong interes makipagkita kahit kanino. Ito ay hindi dahil sa ayaw ko sa kanila. Gusto ko lang kasi muna malaman kung ano ba ang plano nila para isaayos ang ating bansa?” he said.
“Time and again we have been disappointed by what always start as good intentions. Yet, what we always get is one’s inability to follow through and deliver. Anyone in position will always fall short of the people’s very high expectations,” Remulla added.
The governor added that he is also contemplating whether he will do it the other way around. Remulla said that he is also looking at the possibility of his constituents being the ones who will tell him who to support in the 2022 polls.

“Sure, this will be a long process of consultation and dialogue. But you see, this cannot be my decision alone. I’d rather we do this together as one massive collective force of 2.2 million strong registered voters—so we can shape the conversation and contribute as a whole to the country,” he added.
Remulla said aspirants must be able to address the issues like economic woes of the country, the West Philippine Sea, and their plans for the youth.
“Hanggang biro ng jetski na lang ba tayo? What we need is a leader who will be LOYAL to the interest of the people and the country,” he said. (TDT)
