Former Manila Mayor Erap Estrada to Isko Moreno: Hungry stomach knows no law

Former President and Manila Mayor Erap Estrada has shared pieces of advice to Manila Mayor Isko Moreno during the necrological service for the late former Senator Nene Pimentel.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Estrada said the new Manila government should also look after the poor people.

“He should also worry about the poor people. According to a study by UP, Manila has the highest number of poverty incidence,” Estrada said.

Estrada warned Moreno that if he will ignore the need of the poor then the reforms he will be doing will not have good results.

“Dito sa Manila, ang daming mahihirap. Remember hungry stomach knows no law,” he said.

Moreno took over in the last midterm elections. He got 357,925 votes while Estrada received 210,605 votes.

Since then, Moreno has gained popularity as he intensified his road clearing campaign and active social media engagement. (TN)
