This was Gomez’ revelation in an exclusive interview with The Manila Bulletin Tuesday, May 4.
Gomez made the disclosure when he was initially asked about his future political plans, particularly a potential shot at national politics.
“For now it is not in my plans. Kailangan ko muna ayusin ‘tong Ormoc at ‘yung district namin so dito muna ako magfofocus (I need to put things in order in Ormoc and our district so I’m focusing here),” he shared.
