Moreno: No regrets leaving city hall
MANILA, Philippines — Presidential aspirant Isko Moreno said he has no regrets ending his first term as mayor of Manila to seek the country’s highest post.
In Facebook Live after his miting de avance in Tondo Saturday night, Moreno said he was grateful that he got to know the country’s plight especially in far-flung areas.
Moreno will cast his vote at the Magat Salamat Elementary School in Tondo, where he grew up, according to his campaign team.
“I’m really proud and happy with my decision to run for president. You know why? Because I got to know the real situation, especially in the provinces,” Moreno said in Filipino in describing his campaign trail.
Hours before the end of the campaign period, he thanked his team of supporters and volunteers who accompanied him during the 90-day campaign period.
“I was awakened to the need for a fast-acting government,” he said in Filipino, referring to his campaign slogan “Bilis Kilos.”
During his miting de avance in Moriones, Tondo Saturday night, Moreno took a jab at presidential frontrunner Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for being out of touch with reality, saying the latter grew up rich. He also criticized Robredo and her supporters for allegedly bullying him to withdraw from the race.
