Ardy Ines Araneta Batoy

For this edition of VOX POPULI, The Bohol Tribune is featuring the netizen’s reactions, responses and comments to this week’s featured statement. The statement is:  

“On the midnight of Aug 24, 2021, the President’s meeting with the Cabinet (Talk to the People) concluded. Towards the end of his statement, the President declared he is running for Vice President in answer to the people’s clamor for his continued service in gov’t.
