Isko greets Chinoys for Chinese New Year
MANILA Mayor and Aksyon Demokratiko presidential candidate Isko Moreno extended his greetings to members of the Chinese-Filipino community in the city and the entire country, as they usher in the Chinese New Year at 12 a.m. and the whole day of February 1, 2022.
In a message, Moreno cited the great contributions of ‘Chinoys’ to the city’s progress over the years and thanked them for supporting the local government of Manila in all its undertakings.
The mayor particularly expressed gratitude to all the help that had been extended by the Chinese-Filipinos to help the needy and the city government from the onset of the pandemic up to the present.
The local chief executive said it is lamentable that just like all other similar occasions, the Chinese New Year activities had to be canceled because of the recent surge in COVID infections nationwide.
