The President's Son #1 (Sandro's Home)

XXVI

Iona's POV:

A month had passed, and a lot of things happened. Pops, Sandro, and everyone was busy with their preparations. Today is when both Sandro and Pops will file their CoC. Sandro filing for 1st District Congressman and Pops filing for Presidency. The Mariano siblings, Mami Lisa, Kuya Matt Mariano Montemayor (Ilocos Norte's Governor and Sandro's Cousin) and I were here to support them. After the filing there were some ambushed interviews which I preferred to distance myself from the family since I don't want to be noticed, as well as to avoid my involvement from the family kahit pa may mga taong kumukuha ng videos and posting it on social media. Sandro is gaining more and more attention from the public especially to the women race kaya minsan hindi maiwasan na nakasunod talaga ang mga babae sa kanya. Some were even posting Sandro's private videos when he was still in London from his older IG account, taking pictures and videos of him privately which made him bothered sometimes and is seen in how he reacts on some of the videos, some girls are really good at stalking him, there were even videos and some pictures of them circulating on social media but thanks to the staff for taking down some of it. We can't actually stop these kinds of things from happening. Pops is now being interviewed and it's good to see how calm he is in front of the media.

"Join me in this noblest of causes, and we will succeed," Pops said in a brief speech

"If we have learned anything in this time of Covid pandemic, it is that each of us, no matter our station, is in need of the help of our fellow Filipinos," he added.

(author: Guys I feel like using their own words and such. I'm really amazed at how BBM and Sandro talk during their interviews. I really do admire their wit and choices of words as well as their concrete plans, so if ever that some lines were familiar to you, siguro magdadagdag lang ako ng ilan.)

It's now Sandro's turn for his interview.

"I would like to thank everyone for their unending support and rest assured that I am devoted to making the lives of our kakailians (fellow residents) better. This is only the beginning," he said. She is so proud looking at him right now.

"Sir Sandro, you are aware of how the ladies go crazy about you in social media and of course everyone is curious if you are single or not" everyone laughed with that question since most of them knew how popular Sandro is. Lumingon lingon muna si Sandro at ng mahanap siya nito tumingin ito sa kanya atsaka ngumiti bago sinagot ang tanong ng reporter.

"I'm happy and very proud to say that I'm committed to a very special person. We would like to keep everything about us in private as much as possible since she doesn't want to be bashed by people admiring me. So ladies I hope that you can also be happy for me since I already found someone I can cherish, well Simon, Vinny and some of my cousins are still available" tumawa naman ang mga tao sa pahayag ni Sandro, i-online benta ba naman ang mga Mariano Men. And yes Sandro and I are together hindi man alam ng buong Ilocos Norte pero alam ng iilan since nakikita kaming lumalabas na magkasamang dalawa whenever we are free we do go on dates, kahit naman papaano we're still a normal couple.

"Can you give us a little detail about her? Is she also a young politician? Or coming from any political clans?" tanong naman ng isang reporter.

"Honestly, she doesn't want to be with someone that has something to do with politics, but still ended up with me. I do appreciate her support in my chosen path. She's a businesswoman and at the same time would like to continue her studies in Law. She really wanted to become a lawyer just like mom wala eh Idol niya si mommy" natatawang pahayag ng binata. Matapos ang ambush interview nito linapitan na niya ito ng makita niyang umalis na ang mga reporter para naman i-interview and iba pang nagfile ng kanilang candidacy.

"You did great Mr. Mariano" nakangiting bati niya rito.

"Did you like it?" pagod na may ngiting tanong nito. Sandro is still adjusting himself when it comes to interviews, especially the ambush ones.

"Let's go, you need to rest na" anyaya niya sa binata. Nang makasakay na sila, bigla siya nitong niyakap.

"You are rest to me, holding you close is already my rest. Thank you for being here and supporting me all the way even if magulo ang politika para sa'yo pinili mo pa din na makipagrelasyon sakin" pahayag ng binata.

"I'll always support and stay by your side just like what Mami Lisa, she's always there for Pops" pangako naman niya sa binata.
