Manila Mayor Francisco Domagoso, whose open governance effort have gone viral on social media platforms, said he has no ambition to run for the country’s highest office in 2022.
“There’s more problem there (presidency) than in Manila, I owe it to the people of Manila and we deserve something else. I would rather focus on my mandate to the people Manila because they are expecting more,” Domagoso said.
Moreno continues to hug the limelight for his unrelenting drive against illegal street and sidewalk vendors in Divisoria, Blumentritt, Quiapo and Sta Cruz areas.
He said that after his term ends as Manila mayor, he would rather teach on local governance.
“Honestly, I have been teaching lectures in the local governments. I will share my experiences more than academic provisions syllabus and laws of Local Government Code,” he said.
During the inspection of creeks and rivers in Manila, Moreno said the city government of Manila will cooperate with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the rehabilitation of the polluted Malate creek.
Moreno said they will meet with DENR staff at Manila City Hall on July 16 to plan for the cleanup of the Malate creek, which is a tributary that drains into the sea and pollutes Manila Bay.
