Three presidential candidates came together on Easter Sunday to announce in a press conference that no way were they going to withdraw from the race.

During the Q & A, Isko Moreno said he wanted Leni Robredo to withdraw from the race using a basketball analogy, saying any one of them could sub for her and perhaps make a 3-point shot.

Both Ping Lacson and Bert Gonzales disowned that statement.

Manny Pacquiao was nowhere to be found: his plane was hovering above Manila waiting for the go signal to land …

Manny’s campaign manager said it was a blessing in disguise that he had missed out on the press con.

The aftermath spawned jokes and memes references to easter egg hunts at a luxury hotel stealing the spotlight from a risen Christ and many, many more.

But there’s only 3 weeks to go before D-Day.

So, what now and what next? What unity versus the uniteam? Are we looking at a president ferdinand marcos junior?

Because if we are, then maybe we should get with the program.
