Sharon Cuneta says Isko became a traditional politician

At the press conference for her “Iconic” concert with Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez, Megastar Sharon Cuneta could not escape being caught in a recent reaction to the issue of “withdrawal”.

Sharon was asked at a presscon on Monday if she had any plans to withdraw.

“Beke nemen,” the Songbird said.

The Megastar added, “Yung asawa ko nag-withdraw pang utilities namin. Ganun lang nagwi-withdraw sa main.”

“Dapat kasi lalaki. Ang pangit kasi kung babae, ‘di ba?,” Sharon added.

On the other hand, Sharon Cuneta reacted seriously after the joint presscon discussed last Sunday in which Manila Mayor Isko Moreno urged his rival in the presidency, Vice President Leni Robredo, to withdraw from the election.

Mega admits that, at first, she was proud of Isko’s entry into politics because he also came from a difficult life back then.

Sharon Cuneta says Isko became a traditional politician

“When he was starting, I had a little pride in me of him dahil sa istorya ng buhay niya,” Sharon said in an interview with News 5 after the Iconic presscon.

“But frankly, as the years went by parang nakikita mo yung signs ng pagka-traditional politician,” Sharon Cuneta added.

The traditional politician or “trapo” is described as a type of politician who usually makes heavy promises that he cannot fulfill, just to convince the people during the election.

“These traditional politicians know how to prioritize electoral gains and the best way to get them, according to the old-age playbook, is to maximize visibility even before the campaign period starts. This includes fast-tracking construction projects and building infrastructure that are not intended for the long term but would otherwise remind voters whose names should go on the ballot, ”the Manila Collegian described in a September 2021 article.

Meanwhile, on June 17-18, the re-staging of Songbird and Mega’s Iconic concert will be held at Resorts World Manila.
