MANILA, Philippines - Re-electionist Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero bared his sentiments on issues involving him in recent months--from the so-called black propaganda against him to his dissolved candidacy with the United Nationalist Alliance.
"Lahat na yata maliban sa pagbaril kay Rizal, sinabi na sa'kin ngayong eleksyong 'to. Nagsimula sa lasenggo, naging adik, naging babaero, naging bakla, naging bobo," Escudero said in an exclusive interview with the editorial team of the Philippine Star.
In this hour-long recorded conversation, the lawmaker discusses his complicated political ties with former President Joseph Estrada's camp as well as his controversial relationship with actress Heart Evangelista.
