The hashtag calling Manila Mayor Isko Moreno to withdraw his candidacy for president trended on Twitter shortly after Vice President Leni Robredo announced that she will be running for president.
#WithdrawIsko is the second top trending topic as of 3PM, Thursday, October 7.
“If you really listen to the Filipinos, #WithdrawIsko and Let Leni Lead,” a Twitter user said.
Moreno and Robredo were both part of the so-called unity talks for a coalition among opposition candidates.
But Moreno announced his presidential bid ahead of Robredo causing the talks to fall.
