MANILA, Philippines — Manila Mayor Isko Moreno announced yesterday that he would not seek a national post in the 2028 general elections, vowing to focus on continuing local government initiatives and development.
“Be assured: I will just be here in Manila in 2028. As long as the people want me, I’m here for them,” Moreno declared.
Moreno, who lost in the 2022 presidential election, gave the same answer when asked on Feb. 23 about his rumored candidacy in 2028.
He denied that Vice President Sara Duterte visited and asked him to be her running mate.
Moreno, however, joked that he would run for a second term in the nation’s capital.
Moreno thanked President Marcos for extending financial help to the city to construct a medical school building and procure commercially priced rice for residents.
“We are grateful to the President for the assistance, especially with our fiscal situation, ” Moreno said.
He vowed to prioritize programs for Manila residents such as housing, education, health care and jobs.
Moreno led yesterday the groundbreaking of a 15-story Binondominium 2 on Delpan street, marking the sixth vertical housing project of the city government.
