Prominent political leaders of Marikina City expressed all out support to the presidential bid of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso as they underscored his political will and global competence as shown in his brand of leadership in the nation’s capital City of Manila.
In a community service activity, spearheaded by Ikaw Muna (IM) Pilipinas, the national volunteer organizing group of Yorme Isko Moreno, in Marikina former local chief executive Del R. de Guzman along with city councilors Xyza Diazen Santos, Mark Albert del Rosario and Erning Flores issued a unified statement of support for Moreno saying that his “Bilis Kilos” brand of leadership that has the right skill set, the real concern for the people and most of all fear of God makes him the perfect leader to lead and unite the nation for the next six years.
“Naipakita na ni Mayor Isko Moreno ang ang kanyang kahusayan sa pamumuno, Nakita natin ito sa Maynila at naibalik niya ang sigla ng siyudad at ang paniniwala ng mamamayan sa gobyerno sa maikling panahon lang ng kanyang pagka-mayor. At ito ay magagawa niya sa ating bansa, siya ang leader na talagang iniisip ang kaunlaran ng mga bayan-bayan at ng ating mmismong bansa sa kabuuan,” De Guzman said.
The former mayor of the country’s shoe capital even thanked Yorme Isko Moreno for the effort to reach out to the people at the barangay level thru IM Pilipinas to provide livelihood and offer a sustainable source of income to support their families.
“Napakaganda nitong aktibidad na ito lalo na ngayon na panahon ng pandemic na ang mga kababayan natin ay marami ang nawalan ng trabaho sa pamamagitan ng katulad ng livelihood training na ito ay magkakaroon ng income ang ating mga kababayan. Lalo na itong mga participants natin ngayon na mga mothers, dahil dito sa livelihood training sila ay magiging empowered at makatutulong sa kanilang mga asawa sa pagtataguyod ng kanilang pamilya,” De Guzman explained.
The activity, which includes candle-making and dishwashing liquid production, is a weekly effort which is part of IM PIlipinas’ “Bilis Kilos Mobile Team” program that is focused on reaching out to Filipinos across the country. The program also has “ISKOwentuhan sa Barangay” wherein a casual consultation is being made to get the actual sentiments and needs of the people at the grassroots level.
All are part of Yorme Isko Moreno Domagoso’s efforts to uplift the lives of the Filipinos and achieve a sustainable and inclusive national economic growth.
Community leader and Mothers Glee founding president Annie Candidato for her part thanked Moreno and IM Pilipinas for implementing the project that she said could help them recover from the effects of the Covid19 pandemic.
She also expressed high hopes that Moreno could offer a better life for all especially the underprivileged.
“Ang nakikita ko kay Yorme Isko Moreno ay ang kanyang pang-unawa sa kalagayan ng katulad naming na mahihirap dahil siya mismo ay galing rin sa mahirap na buhay. Dahil sa kanyang pagsisikap ay umasenso ang kanyang kabuhayan na siya naman ibinabahagi niya sa kapwa. Ito ang magandang ehemplo ng isang leader na pwedeng tularan ng lahat lalo na ng mga kabataan. Sigurado kami na aasenso ang ating buhay sa panahon na siya ang mamumuno sa ating bansa,” Candidato said.
IM Pilipinas secretary general Elmer Argaño assured that the group will continue to implement the Bilis Kilos Mobile Team program and reach more people.
“Ang sinsasabi natin Buhay at Kabuhayan… buhay dahil hindi kailangan may mamatay dahil sa pandemya kung mabilis ang gobyerno tulad na lang ng pag-aksyon ni Yorme na Nakita natin sa Maynila. Kabuhayan kasi po alam natin na bagsak ang lahat, ito pong proyektong hatid namin ay livelihood maaaring maliit lang ito sa ngayon pero kung ating pagyayamanin maaaring lumaki at magiging role model kayo sa buong bansa. Gaein natin ang lahat ng magagawa natin at sab inga ni Yorme may awa ang Diyos lalo na sa mga tao na nagsisikap kaya nga God First!” Argaño noted.
Similar activities were also done in other provinces and key cities across the country that include Cagayan de Oro, La Union, Rizal, Cagayan Province and Taguig, among others.
