MANILA, Reuters – Manila City mayor Francisco Domagoso filed to run for president of the Philippines Monday. Domagoso claims he is a candidate unifying from humble origins that can restore an economy and livelihoods devastated by the Pandemic.
Domagoso, 46, a former actor, is the second contestant to sign up for the May 2022 election https://reut.rs/3B7c5Kg to lead the Philippines for the next six years, after newly retired boxing icon Manny Pacquiao https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-kicks-off-election-season-under-pandemic-cloud-2021-09-30.
Domagoso stated that he was too indecisive and divisive to cause the economic stunting on top of the pandemic.
Let us all heal this country together and we will have a better future for everyone.
Domagoso’s charm and humble roots make him popular in Manila. But experts believe he will struggle to attract voters from the south.
A flag-raising ceremony was held at Manila city hall. The prayer was offered at a local church. The mayor was greeted by dozens near his filing place.
Domagoso, who was at a funeral when he saw Domagoso’s talent, became an idol matinee in a variety show and then moved on to more prominent roles in mainstream movies.
In 2019, he was elected mayor of Manila. In 2016, he unsuccessfully ran for the office of senator after serving nine years as Manila’s vice president.
Willie Ong will serve as his running mate for vice president – an independent contest. On Facebook, 16 million people follow him and tap on his medical advice.
At the weekend, President Rodrigo Duterte said that he will retire from the presidency and not run for the vice presidency, as was previously agreed. However, his daughter Sara would be running for the office of president.
