Aksyon Demokratiko bet and Manila Mayor Francisco Isko Moreno Domagoso wrapped up his three-day sortie in Bicol Region with a motorcade along the streets of Oas, Albay followed by a town hall meeting attended by thousands of Bicolanos who gave a warm welcome to Moreno and the rest of the Aksyon candidates.
“Well, my first 22 years with the Bicolano inside the house, my wife is from Sorsogon and I’m happy to be here and many, many thanks to Bicolandia. It’s been three days now, Masbate, Sorsogon, Albay, and you saw that somehow in our modest way of reaching them they are really coming, there are many of them especially now that the barangays quite far away so, thank you very much Bicolanos,” Moreno told reporters in Oas.
Moreno will be in Bacolod City on Wednesday along with senatorial bets Jopet Sison and John Castriciones. A series of motorcades and town hall meetings will be the highlight of Team Isko’s barnstorming of Negros Occidental.
Aksyon Demokratiko vice presidential bet Dr. Willie Ong will be in Bohol province together with senatorial bet Dr. Carl Balita as part of Team Isko’s strategy to cover as much ground as possible since the halfway of the national campaign draws near.
The “silent majority” in the Bicol region was in full display in all the campaign activities of Team Isko with the Aksyon Demokratiko presidential bet clearly winning the hearts of the people in Albay, Sorsogon, and Masbate.
People from far-flung barangays even took time to go out of their homes to get a chance to see Moreno and the rest of the Aksyon candidates regardless if it’s through a motorcade or by attending town hall meetings organized by the party and local leaders.
Despite the heat and tiring sorties, the 47-year-old Aksyon presidential bet has not shown any sign of fatigue. This goes for the rest of Team Isko led by Moreno’s running mate Dr. Willie Ong, Aksyon Demokratiko senatorial bets Dr. Carl Balita, Samira Gutoc , Jopet Sison, and guest candidate John Castriciones of the Partido Demokratikong Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban).
Asked by media when is he planning to barnstorm Camarines Sur which is 15th in the list of vote-rich provinces in the country with 1,307,553 voters, Moreno said Team Isko is scheduled to go back to Bicol soon.
After barnstorming the provinces of Masbate on Sunday and Sorsogon on Monday morning, Moreno and his slate immediately proceeded to Albay province for a series of motorcades and town hall meetings in the municipality of Daraga and Oas up until Tuesday.
