naol huhuhu

Can he just take over as president please? Even in some alternate parallel universe.... mayor VicoSotto’s presence gives us hope that there is still good in this country....

This is the kind of leader our country and people need, an extreme opposite of dudirty in terms of intellect, demeanor, decision making, etc.
