Radio DJ Mo Twister compared presidential candidate Isko Moreno to President Rodrigo Duterte via a tweet on February 28.
Twister’s reaction was about Moreno’s analogy regarding his fellow presidential candidates, wherein the politician compared other presidentiables to pedigree show dogs and him as an Askal (Aspin) with rabies.
The radio DJ criticized Moreno’s pointless analogies, noting Moreno’s similarities to a young Rodrigo Duterte.
Wtf? Sounds like a young Digong with weird pointless analogies lol https://t.co/f4sKzQk5RC

Itong si Isko eh talagang Duterte-lite. Same yun spiel eh. Ganun din ang sinabi ni Duts dati. Nagawa sa Davao, pwede gawin sa Pilipinas. Ngayon naman, nagawa sa Manila eh pwedeng ireplicate sa bansa.. 🥴🥴🥴 #CNNPresidentialDebate

Dear Duterte Lite @IskoMoreno, hindi masamang magkamali ng English pero hindi rin masamang mag Tagalog na lang kung di kayang itawid nang tama ang English. Awat na sa pagpapanggap! https://t.co/gFUDF5lj7O

Recently, Moreno’s political strategy seems to follow President Duterte from the 2016 elections.
During his Mindanao leg of political rallies, Moreno allowed some supporters to attach his name to the Vice Presidential candidate Sara Duterte, despite having his VP bet with Doctor Willie Ong.
Other pro-Duterte Labor groups such as the Alliance of Genuine Labor Organization (AGLO), Bus Transport Workers Alliance (BTWA), and National Confederation of Labor have also expressed their intent in backing Moreno in the 2022 elections.
