Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Now that's a career trajectory I wasn't expecting. Maybe he's seen the writing on the wall that the masses don't want him as a legislator anymore.
But I'm rooting for him simply because we need to tear down dynasties.
Why Caloocan tho? I'd understand kung taga-roon talaga siya, but even then, local politics is a very different beast than national politics, so I am not sure he'd easily make the jump.
I am not excusing political dynasties, but fighting them in the political arena is a very difficult battle. He must be very prepared for it, and be willing to have more than one go at it.
Maybe that's what the Magdalo intel told him, lmao.
