Sassa Gurl, whose real name is Felix Petate, said during the Kumu program 'Boto Mo Karerin Natin 'Yan' that he has received offers from several camps.

"Para sa akin mayroon na, may lumapit na. May mga lumapit na. Hindi ko lang gi-no. Ang nasa isip ko kasi susuportahan kita basta makita ko talaga na parehas tayo ng pinaglalaban," he said during the Kumu live stream last Thursday.

Meanwhile Mona Magno-Veluz who goes by the name 'Mighty Magulang' on social media, said that she remains to be in the center because of her profession as a genealogist.

"Kasi ang problema with history, it's kind of journalism, hindi siya puwedeng maging one or another. Talagang dapat you are on the center," she said during the Kumu program.

Because of the limitations brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of social media became in-demand and politicians running in next year's elections are using this medium to reach voters.
