“Binanggit na ng source kung anong district sa lugar sa Maynila, pero baka raw magkaroon agad-agad ng intrigahan kaya ‘wag muna naming isulat,” Asis shared.

It was also said that businessman Atong Ang, Greta’s friend and business partner, was one of those who convinced her to run for the next elections. The source also revealed that the former actress is excited about this idea.
