“Salamat naman pero malayo pa. Tao muna ang pagtutuunan ko ng atensyon. Gusto ko munang makinig sa tao sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas. At the same time mairaos natin ‘yung tao, maitawid natin ‘yung tao. Kasi hirap ang mga tao ngayon,” Moreno said.

Moreno is seeking the highest position of the land with Dr. Willie Ong as his vice presidential candidate. They are running on a Bilis Kilos 10-Point Program of Governance that seeks to protect life, promote livelihood and create jobs.
