Dugyot kami. Papaliguan ko lang naman,&quot; he told ANC&#x27;s Headstart.(I&#x27;ll move heaven and earth to clean up the city.

It can be a model to any local government unit then I&#x27;ll go to Baseco then to Parola,&quot; he said.(I want to show that I can walk the talk, so I&#x27;ll start there.

Marami rin akong pwedeng matutunan sa kanila... If they have ideas, why not? There is no monopoly of knowledge,&quot; he said.(I need the two of them if they are willing. I can learn a lot from them... If they have ideas, why not? There is no monopoly of knowledge.)
