Lawyer Gilbert Lauengco, spokesperson of Dr. Willie, said the candidate plans to conduct a hybrid form of campaigning for the next elections.

Asked about Ong’s current health condition after he was diagnosed with sarcoma, Lauengco said Ong is confident of being able to overcome his sickness.

‘He was told by his doctor that, although his condition is nothing to sneeze at, it is treatable,’ he added.

Ong ran for vice president but lost in the May 2022 polls.
