MANILA–Isko Moreno will “work with anybody,” from all shades of the political spectrum for the betterment of the Philippines, he promised as he launched his 2022 presidential bid from his birthplace of Tondo, Manila on Wednesday, September 22.
Wearing a neutral white shirt and a winning smile, Moreno sought to present himself as a politician who would end divisive politics that has defined discourse during the Duterte administration.
“I will be a healing president. While ours will be a government of national reconstruction, it will also be a government of national reconciliation, based on justice and rule of law,” said Moreno from a podium in an open-air venue in a housing community he started a year ago.
