Supporters of presidential candidate and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno appealed to voters to consider choosing candidates apart from survey frontrunners Bongbong Marcos and Vice President Leni Robredo.
“They may have different surnames, but their interests align. Wala silang pinagka-iba; pare-pareho lang sila,” Rom-Voltaire Quizon, the spokesperson of the Isko Moreno Lawyers and Volunteers said in a statement.

“We therefore call on our Filipino people to vote with their eyes open. Look around you and see if your lives and your country have been bettered under the rules of the two families who have lorded it over our beloved country’s politics for over 50 years,” Quizon added.
Quizon said that the estate tax liabilities of the Marcos family has ballooned to P203 billion after past administrations including the late former president Noynoy Aquino failed to collect the estate taxes.
“If they cannot exact something as simple as taxes, how do they expect to exact justice when they failed to do so during the Aquino administration? Even a ‘daang matuwid’ needs money for maintenance, which perhaps explains why our roads are in such a state of disrepair,” Quizon added.

“So, wala talaga silang pinagkaiba. One family refused to pay; the other family refused to collect,” he added.
Moreno has repeatedly offered himself as the alternative to end the feud between the two political colors.
