THE three Manila congressmen whom UNA had claimed would accompany former President Erap Estrada and his vice mayoral bet Isko Moreno when they file their certificates of candidacy were a no-show yesterday.

Congresswomen Naida Angping (3rd district), Trisha Bonoan-David (4^th district) and Amado Bagatsing (5th district) -- were nowhere to be found when Estrada and Moreno filed their COCs at the Comelec office in Arroceros.

A media advisory by UNA Monday had said Estrada, Moreno, Angping, David  and Bagatsing will file their certificates of candidacy at noon at the Comelec office in Arroceros.

When informed of the advisory, both Bagatsing and Angping denied any knowledge of it. David had earlier declared that she will abide by her party which is fielding Alfredo Lim as reelectionist mayor.

Angping and Bagatsing dismissed the false announcement as another political intrigue and expressed relief that Lim is not at all affected by it.

“Ano ang gagawin namin sa Comelec Arroceros eh sa Comelec Intramuros naman kami kailangang mag-file?” Angping added.

Bagatsing said he is no longer surprised about the false advisory, saying ‘this is the season of disinformation. ###
