Presidential aspirant and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno will be returning to Moriones in Tondo for his miting de advance on Saturday, May 7.
In a statement, Moreno said he will end his 90-day presidential campaign in Tondo to show his gratitude to the people of Tondo where he started his journey as a public servant.
"Utang ng loob ko sa mga tiga-Tondo kung nasaan man ako sa mundo ng public service. Doon ako nagsimula, doon ko tatapusin ‘yung laban," he said.
[I owe it to the people of Tondo wherever I am in the world of public service. That is where I started and that is where I will end my fight.]
According to Moreno, he chose Moriones, Tondo as the area for his final campaign rally as it is accessible to the target crowd.
"Moriones kasi yun ang common eh. Madaling masakyan ng jeep yung northern part ng Tondo. Kung dito naman sa southern part ng Tondo, pwede mo naman lakarin yung pa-Zaragoza. Malapit yan sa sentro kasi, yung ginawa nating garden," he continued.
[Moriones because that’s the common area. It is easy to fetch a jeep in the northern part of Tondo. If it’s here in the southern part of Tondo, you can still walk to Zaragoza. It’s close to the center where we had the garden built.]
Moreno has repeatedly said in the past that he started as a scavenger in the slums of Tondo, Manila.
