Palace won’t confirm if mayor in bikini is Isko Moreno

President Rodrigo Duterte slammed a mayor who has obscene pictures on social media.

“Kayong mga Pilipino, huwag kayong magpaloko diyan sa mga padrama magsalita. Nakita ko nga sa Facebook, naka-bikini ang gago, tapos may isang picture na sinisilip niya ang ari niya, iyan ang gusto ninyo? Ang training parang… callboy, naghuhubad, nagpi-picture, nag-bikini tapos ang garter tinaggal niya, hinila niya tapos tiningnan niya iyong…” said Duterte.

Duterte did not specify the mayor in bikini, but many think it was Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, who was a former actor before entering politics.

Duterte added that the city headed by the mayor with “obscene” photos would not be given the power to distribute aid, and instead, DILG and DSWD will take the lead in distributing it.

“May isang siyudad diyan na hindi ko bibigyan ng power to distribute ayuda. Simply because in so many instances, they cannot organize,” said Duterte.

According to the Palace, they could not confirm whether Isko Moreno was the one Duterte is talking about.

“I cannot confirm that because I am not able to confirm it… Pero pictures cannot lie,” said Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque.

Roque was asked whether OWWA Deputy Administrator Mocha Uson also had obscene pictures back then, but Duterte still appointed her?

“Si Mocha Uson, well, na-appoint po iyan pero hindi ko naman po alam kung ano talaga nakaraan ni Mocha Uson… Ang sinasabi ko lang is the President gave her a second chance, and I think she took advantage of the second chance,” said Roque.
