Manila City mayor Francisco ‘Isko Moreno’ Domagoso said the fight against COVID-19 pandemic should be addressed inclusively with the help of the general public as he likewise encouraged his constituents to get vaccinated to protect themselves from the deadly virus.
“Huwag tayong matatakot. Huwag tayong susuko. Huwag tayong mawawalan ng pag-asa. Mananalo tayo. Siguradong mananalo tayo,” Domagoso said.
(Let us not be afraid, let us not give up. Let’s not lose hope. We will win this war.)
“Magtulong-tulong tayo. Tayo rin ang magkikita sa finals. Isang bangka lang tayo, wala ng iba,” Domagoso said.
(Let us help each other. We are all on the same boat.)
