“Ke nakapikit o nakadilat, kay Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna ako!!”
This was the firm declaration made by Manila Vice Mayoral candidate, Congressman Yul Servo amid efforts from some political quarters to drive a wedge within their local party Asenso Manileno by attempting to pair him with another candidate for mayor.
Servo said he is solidly behind Lacuna as his runningmate and sole candidate for mayor, as much as he is supporting no other candidate for President but Mayor Isko Moreno.
The Congressman’s reaction came after learning that some individuals campaigning for a certain candidate for mayor have been pairing him with the said candidate without his express knowledge and consent.
Servo appealed to them to put a stop to what they are doing because he will just deny it, adding it is clear to Manila residents that he is running for vice mayor with Lacuna as his mayor.
He also urged other local candidates to prove that they are worthy of the trust and confidence of Manilans by presenting what they have done and plan to do for the city, instead of engaging in dirty tactics and smear campaign.
Servo said he and Lacuna are in agreement that they will never engage in negative campaigning or engage with anybody launching such against them.
Instead, Servo said their tandem is utilizing their time and effort in continuing to attend to their functions while also in the thick of their campaign.
Aside from being the second in command as Vice Mayor in Manila, Lacuna is also the Presiding Officer of the 38-member Manila City Council and in charge of the city government’s health cluster and vaccination program.
On the other hand, Servo, who represents the third legislative district of Manila in Congress, is also the deputy majority leader in the House of Representatives.
