Honey to continue reforms in Manila – Moreno
AKSYON Demokratiko standard-bearer Mayor Isko Moreno has called on all Manileños to make their presence felt in the entire country by spreading all the positive changes that took place in Manila for a period of only barely two years, as he expressed pride that Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna will be taking his place as the next mayor of the capital city.
“Ginagarantiyahan ko kayo, hindi ako mapapahiya kay Honey Lacuna. Makapaglalakad ako sa lahat ng iskinita at sulok ng Maynila na matangos ang ilong ko… maipagmamalaki kong hindi kayo pababayaan ni Honey,” he said during the grand proclamation rally of their local party “Asenso Manileño” held in Sampaloc, Manila.
He added: “Gusto niyo ba tuloy-tuloy ang progreso ng lungsod? Gusto niyo ba na tuloy-tuloy ang pagtaas ng antas ng pammuhay sa Maynila? Na muli ninyong maipagmamalaki na ako ay ‘Batang Maynila’? Kayang gawin ‘yan ni Honey Lacuna.”
The mayor also cited the quality of those composing Lacuna’s slate, from Vice Mayoral candidate Congressman Yul Servo down to the candidates for congressmen and councilors as “battle-tested” who never left him and Lacuna in the middle of the pandemic and in fact even supported their every program that would rebound to the benefit of the residents.
