“Sa mga batang Maynila, sasakabilang ilog lang naman ako. Magkikita pa rin tayo.” With that, Isko Moreno Domagoso declared he will be running in the May 2022 election for President. Excellent production values for a launch. Excellent camera positioning and shot selection complete with a camera drone flying overhead. In his speech, Isko took potshots…
Today Isko Moreno Domagoso will make the formal announcement of his candidacy for President with Willy Ong as his running mate.
