MANILA — Francisco “Isko” Moreno on Thursday said that although he is indebted to the late Danny Lacuna, he answers first to the people of Manila.

“Ako may utang na loob kay Danny Lacuna. ‘Yan ay di ko ikinaila. Hindi ko ipinagkait o itinanggi… bilang ganti at pagtanaw ng utang na loob kay boss Danny, inaruga ko ang kanyang mga anak,” Moreno said during a campaign event in District 2, Tondo.

“Baka naman pupwede sa ibang bagay na lang ako tumanaw ng utang na loob. Bakit? Eh may utang na loob din naman ako sa taumbayan eh,” he added.

Lacuna, who served as Moreno’s political mentor and helped finance his education, is the father of incumbent Mayor Honey Lacuna, Moreno’s former running mate and now rival in the upcoming May elections.

During the campaign rally, Vice President Sara Duterte showed support for Moreno.

Reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos and Senatorial candidate and singer-composer Jimmy Bondoc also made appearance during the event.

The Commission on Elections earlier confirmed that it would issue a show cause order against Moreno over alleged vote buying.

As of press time, Moreno has not issued a statement on the matter.
