Isko Moreno
“PERSISTENT ako sa buhay. Meron pa akong anim na buwan para kumbinsihin ka!” Ito ang sagot ni Manila Mayor Isko Moreno sa naging pahayag ni Manay Lolit Solis tungkol sa pagtakbo niyang pangulo sa 2022 elections.
Muling humarap sa ilang members ng entertainment media si Isko para i-promote ang kanyang biopic na “Yorme: The Isko Domagoso Story” na pinagbibidahan nina Xian Lim, McCcoy de Leon at Raikko Mateo.
Sa nasabing presscon, inalala ni Isko ang naging pagsisimula niya sa showbiz kasabay ng paghingi ng tulong sa mga kaibigan niya sa entertainment media, “Ako po ay aplikante bilang pangulo ng Pilipinas. You know me better than anybody else. Nakita na ninyo ako simula 1993 sa hallway ng Broadway. Sa Kamameshi.
“Sa studio ng GMA kung saan kami nagpa-practice ng sayaw. Nakita ninyo sa ako sa Seiko Films. Dahan dahan umaakyat. Nakita ninyo ang ugali ko sa oras ng trabaho.
“Nakita ninyo at kilalla ninyo ako how I value the opportunity given to me. How I give importance to that particular task. Dahil doon, mabilis akong nakilala sa showbiz industry.
“The same manner I gave for 23 years of my life in public service. Kahit paano naman meron tayong pruweba. So sa inyong lahat, kailangan ko ang tulong ninyo,” lahad ni Yorme.
Kasunod nga nito, nag-react ang talent manager-entertainment columnist na si Manay Lolit at sinabing tila maaga pa ang pagtakbo niyang presidente ng Pilipinas.
“Huwag lang muna sana ngayon dahil Bongbong Marcos ako pero sa susunod na election, ikaw ang iboboto ko,” ang komento ni Manay Lolit.
Natawa lang ang presidential aspirant sabay sabing, “Persistent ako sa buhay. Meron pa akong anim na buwan para kumbinsihin ka, Tita Lolit.”
Dugtong pa niya, “I respect each and everyone’s choices. This is democracy. I do believe I have done my share, 23 years of my life was dedicated to public service, and happily did it. Sharing my time, effort, and to better myself in governance.
“Timing is not a requirement. It’s not about who can do it better than the other. Who have shown excellence in their field of undertaking.
“Leadership is about who did good. It’s not about the name, who is your father, who is your mother. It’s all about what did you do? Ano ang ginawa mo sa panahon na kailangan ka namin. Nasaan ka sa panahon na kailangan ka namin.
“These are the questions ng ating kababayan. So I don’t believe that this is about fan clubs. It’s not about idols. It’s about who can do it. Sino yung nakasama natin sa oras ng lugmok? Sino yung halos ibuwis ang buhay niya oag lingkuran lamang ang kapwa nya. Whoever that is, it’s up to our people to answer.
“Not because bata ako, nowadays, kailagan natin ang energetic na leader. Kailan natin ng mabilis na leader kasi mabilis din ang pagkakalugmok ng mga tao.
“Being eloquent using good words cannot solve our problems. Sa akin ganun lamang. Maaring tama ka, Tita Lolit. Kung sarili ko lang ang iisipin ko e mag mayor na lang ako ng Maynila. Tingin ko mukhang walang lalaban.
“I did my part and went beyond what is required of me (bilang mayor ng Maynila). I dedicated myself. For three straight months, I wasn’t able to see my family. Just for the record, not a single glimpse kung kumusta yung apat kong anak at asawa ko. I tried in my own little way to be with the people of Manila, two million of them.
“In the lowest moments of their lives, I was there, streets and barangays. I tried to save, protect, and feed as many people as possible,” dire-diretsong pahayag ni Isko.
