Hindi ko alam kung kelan, hindi ko alam kung tatakbo. Pero para sa akin, wala pa po siya talaga sa isip ko. Noong una akala ko, kaya ko.



Saka siyempre, wala akong alam unang-una. Ayoko namang daanin sa pagiging popular o kaya pagiging mabait o matulungin. (It's not for me yet.

I don't know when I don't know if I'll run. But for me, it's not really on my mind yet. At first, I thought, I could do it.

Then, of course, I don't know anything at first. I don't want to go through the process of being popular or being kind or helpful)," Boss Toyo said.Boss Toyo elaborated that running for public office demands significant effort and bravery from community members.

"Opinyon ko lang ito. Hindi sapat na umupo ka sa kahit anong posisyon kung wala kang alam sa pagpapatakbo. Mahirap yan kasi tao na yung hinahawakan mo.

Governance, kung nasa national ka. Kung mag-co-congress ka naman gagawa ka ng batas. Ano 'yung gagawin mo kung sumikat ka lang as an influencer? (This is just my opinion.

It is not enough to sit in any position if you do not know how to run it. That is difficult because you will take the lead for your people. Governance, if you are at the national level.

If you're in Congress, you'll make laws. How will you do that if you started as an influencer?)," he added.Driven by his passion for helping others, Boss Toyo was encouraged by others to run for a public position.

"Actually lahat sila pinapatakbo ako, ako lang yung nag-beg off kasi ayokong maging katawa-tawa. Ayoko kasing masabihan na wala ka namang alam. (They all convinced me to run, while I begged off because I didn't want to appear ridiculous.

I just didn't want to hear that I didn't know anything)," he said.At campaign rallies, Boss Toyo showcases his passion for music through his performances.Life at 44Feeling blessed while celebrating his 44th birthday, Boss Toyo is determined to pursue more in his music career.
