MANILA, Philippines — The team of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso called on all volunteers and supporters to hold off all planned “Blue Wave” caravans beginning today, November 25, until the first week of January 2022.

Team Isko Campaign Strategist Lito Banayo said the call for suspension of all motorcades by supporters of Mayor Isko was due to the traffic congestion that usually comes with the onset of the Christmas season.

“We do not want to add to the burden of our motorists who are already complaining of heavy traffic after the alert status in Metro Manila and other areas were de-escalated to Level 2,” said Banayo.

“We are aware that with the mad rush for shopping in malls and in places like Divisoria, we can expect monstrous traffic jams. Hence, we appeal to all our supporters and volunteers to hold off their motorcades beginning today until the first week of January 2022,” said Banayo.

During the November 14, “2nd Blue Wave Caravan” in Metro Manila, more than 5,000 motorcycle riders and at least 500 cars and other vehicles participated as a show of support for Mayor Isko’s presidential run.

The following Sunday, Nov. 21, thousands of motorcycle riders held their own “Blue Wave Caravan” in Butuan City as a show of support for the Aksyon Demokratiko standard bearer. A similar unity march and motorcade for Mayor Isko was held in Cebu City on Nov. 14

The first highly successful “Blue Wave Caravan” was held on October 24, which was timed with Mayor Isko’s 47th birthday. His running mate, Dr. Willie Ong has the same birthdate and the good doctor turned 58 years old.

The color blue is the official campaign color of Moreno and his Aksyon Demokratiko slate that includes his vice presidential tandem Doc Willie and senatorial slate Marawi civic leader Samira Gutoc, entrepreneur Dr. Carl Balita and legal expert Jopet Sison.
