Support for Aksyon Demokratiko presidential aspirant Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso continued to snowball as he rolled out his 10-point “Bilis Kilos” agenda of governance.

Aksyon Demokratiko chairman Ernest Ramel said Domagoso “has a proven track record as an executive compared to the rest of the field.”

“Why would Isko withdraw? Clearly, he is the more winnable and as much qualified to lead us out of this pandemic and the bad economic condition we are in. It’s high time that we all focus on the sad flight of the Filipinos and our country,” Ramel said.

Political strategist Angelito Banayo, who heads the Manila mayor’s campaign team, said Domagoso and his running mate, Doc Willie Ong, are campaigning on a people-centered platform and not based on the call of a few people or interest groups.

Banayo said the10-point “Bilis Kilos” agenda of governance was mainly based on the many accomplishments of Domagoso as Manila mayor, which include the construction of mass housing for the poor of Baseco, Tondo and Binondo; the construction of a COVID-19 field hospital and a new Ospital ng Maynila; providing free antigen testing and free Remdisivir and Tocilizumab for COVID patients; and the continuous delivery of boxes of ayuda to residents.

“Isko and Doc Willie’s decision to run as a tandem is based on the need to heal the wounds of divisiveness and to deal with the extreme crisis the country is facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Banayo said.

Domagoso’s presidential bid has gained the support of various sectors of society, including a large coalition of big labor groups led by the 100,000-strong Philippine Trade and General Workers Organization (PTGWO).

Other labor groups that threw their support behind Domagoso are the National Association of Trade Unions (NATU), All Filipino Workers Confederation (AFWC), the Association of Minimum Wage Earners and Advocates (AMWESA) and the 1-Pangarap Pilipinas.
