MANILA, Philippines — Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso and Dr. Willie Ong officially started on Tuesday their presidential and vice-presidential campaign for the May elections in the country’s capital city of Manila.
Their proclamation event began around 5 p.m. at the Kartilya ng Katipunan located beside the Manila City Hall.
The Aksyon Demokratiko standard-bearers were joined by their senatorial candidates Samira Gutoc, Carl Balita, and Jopet Sison.
Before the activity, Domagoso and Ong held a motorcade around the city that is said to be their bailiwick. Some 5,000 motorcycle riders clad in blue t-shirts joined the caravan, according to their camp.
Prior to the motorcade, the duo attended a Mass at the Sto. Nino Parish Church in Tondo.
