NETIZENS on Thursday praised Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso for his firm stand against the legalization of abortion in the country, especially on women getting pregnant through rape.

The wife of Pangasinan Vice Governor Mark Lambino, Atty. Melani Lambino, even posted on her Facebook account praising the 47-year-old presidential aspirant for his tough stance against abortion, insisting that only God can take the life of any human being.

“VP L (Vice President Leni Robredo) said she is against abortion but will push for new laws and open to the decriminalization of abortion? BBM (Bongbong Marcos) said he is against abortion but only in rare instances/severe cases abortion is allowable,” said Atty. Lambino, who is also an active officer of the Women’s Club in Pangasinan and whose father-in-law is a staunch supporter of Sara Duterte-Carpio.

“No to abortion. Yes, to life,” said Atty. Lambino, admitted she is confused in the position of one candidate saying no to abortion but is open to the decriminalization of abortion.

Moreno made his intention not to allow pregnant rape victims the choice of legal and safe abortion during the 2022 Presidential One-On-One Interviews with talk-show host Boy Abunda aired on January 27.

Among the candidates so far interviewed by Abunda, Lambino said it was Moreno who has a solid stand on abortion and choose to value the dignity of human life.

Another Facebook user by the name of Angellyn Bunales also commended the presidential candidate for giving value to one’s life.

“Abortion is not a solution. Kung ayaw mo sa bata, let the child live and have another family/state to take care of them. Kung ako or pusa nga may rescuer sa baby pa kaya?” she commented.

During the interview, Moreno said nobody has the right to take away the life of another because this was given by God himself.

“Nope. Life is life to me. Same thing that I apply to criminals, due process of law will be observed. Equal opportunity, equal chance. The same thing when I value lives of suspected criminals, ‘yung karapatang pantao nila na maipaliwanag ang sarili. The same manner is applied to any life. I don’t like taking life,” explained Moreno.

“So, ayoko ng abortion, but I am pro-choice in terms of other things like ‘yung kung ano ‘yung accessible na ibigay ng estado para sa family planning. But when there is life already, nobody should take it away kasi ipinagkaloob ng Diyos ‘yon. That’s my personal belief,” the Aksyon Demokratiko standard bearer said.

Netizens also praised Mayor Isko for the way he answered questions presented to him during the 2022 Presidential One-On-One Interviews with talk-show host Boy Abunda.

Regardless of whether the topic is about the Environment, on the fight against COVID-19, poverty, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), cyber-pornography, rape-related abortion, illegal drugs, national debt, and the West Philippine Sea, the 47-year-old presidential aspirant stood out and gave a good impression of himself.

Some of those who commended Moreno even said that since making himself available for the presidential interviews, they are now convinced that he is the right choice to become the next leader of our country.

A netizen identified as Angela Christi, said the 47-year-old Aksyon Demokratiko standard bearer was “so sincere, transparent, articulate and spontaneous,” when he answered the questions thrown at him.

“Plans are futuristic, clear, concrete, attainable, scalable, and doable. Impressive! Good luck and God bless my future president,” she said in a comment she posted on the social media site Facebook.

Another Facebook user identified as Ana Carderas, said the way Moreno speaks when he answers questions, the way he sits, and the manner he moves his hands and his body movements when he wants to stress his points, only proves how true a leader he is.

“Well the most important of all is, he can clearly explain his answers. Good job Yorme,” she said.

Meanwhile, one Estrell Comia Burog said after hearing the Aksyon Demokratiko standard bearer speak, she sees him as a “very bright, articulate, sensible, and spontaneous, yet very street-smart person when he stresses his views.

“He has passion for public service, and is a goal-driven and result-oriented leader. Godspeed Yorme!” she said.

During the interview, Moreno also gave his thoughts on other issues such as if he is in favor of amending the qualifications for those who intend to run as President listed under the constitution, on critics accusing him of a political butterfly, if he will allow International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan and his team to visit the country and conduct an investigation on President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s war on drugs and alleged human rights violations.
