Ito ang bumuhay sa atin for quite some time," he said.(I even tell my children that being an actor is a decent profession. It is what sustained us for quite some time.)In August, President Rodrigo Duterte publicly shamed an unnamed Metro Manila mayor for posing in his underwear in the past, saying such a person is unfit to lead. While the President did not mention names, Domagoso is the lone mayor in the capital region who worked as a matinee idol and sexy star in the 80s and 90s.<ul class='op-related-articles'>	<li><a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/10/21/duterte-disorganized-city-cant-distribute-ayuda'>Duterte slams Metro Manila mayor for ‘disorganized mind’, past lewd photos</a></li>	<li><a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/30/21/mayor-isko-duterte-busy-looking-at-sexy-photos-instead-of-covid-19'>Isko Moreno says Duterte busy looking at sexy photos instead of COVID-19</a></li></ul>"Kapag tinutuya-tuya ka, hindi naman ako robot, may kurot 'yung ganun pero at the end of the day, I have to face the music," Domagoso said.(I am not a robot so it stings when you are being mocked, but at the end of the day, I have to face the music.)"May mga taong kapag walang nakikita sa iyong pangit sa pamamahala, o sa pag gogobyerno, maghahanap 'yan ng ibang bagay kahit personal na.
