Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV is reportedly setting his sights on running for mayor of Caloocan in 2025, setting himself up for a faceoff with the Malapitan family that has ruled the city for over a decade.

An Iskooper told Politiko that Trillanes has started making the rounds of communities in Caloocan to listen to people’s concerns and touch base with local leaders.

Why Caloocan tho? ‌I'd understand kung taga-roon talaga siya, but even then, local politics is a very different beast than national politics, so I am not sure he'd easily make the jump.

I am not excusing political dynasties, but fighting them in the political arena is a very difficult battle. He must be very prepared for it, and be willing to have more than one go at it.
