MANILA, Philippines — The camp of Manila City Mayor and presidential candidate Isko Moreno asserted Monday that Doc Willie Ong is the only running mate and vice-presidential candidate of Aksyon Demokratiko standard-bearer Isko Moreno Domagoso. 

This comes after Ong was nowhere to be found from February 20 to 21, the days Moreno spent in the vote-rich Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao for campaign sorties.

Speaking in an interview aired over ANC Monday morning, political strategist Lito Banayo said that it was his call not to have Willie Ong come with them in their provincial sorties, especially in Maguindanao where the Mangudadatus have openly declared their preference for an Isko Moreno-Sara Duterte tandem.
