MANILA City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso on Monday, October 4, 2021, filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) for president along with Dr. Willie Ong, who also filed his COC for vice president.

Domagoso and Ong are running under Aksyon Demokratiko party.

“Tanggapin ninyo ang aplikasyon ko. Ako ay tumatakbong pangulo ng bansa at aplikante ninyo. Sa dami ng suliranin, sa tulong ninyo, bigyan niyo ako ng pagkakataon na kayo ay mapaglingkuran,” he said on Day 4 of the filing of COCs at the Sofitel Harbor Garden Tent in Pasay City.

“Ako ay magiging kaisa niyo upang pigilan na ang pagkakahati natin. We are too divisive and indecisive. Paghilumin natin ang bansa,” he added.

Domagoso said their senatorial candidates include civic leader from Mindanao Samira Gutoc, who filed her COC on Sunday, October 3, and education entrepreneur businessman Carl Balita.

Ong said their tandem will focus on the country’s “healing” from the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

“Marami kaming magandang plano para sa bayan especially po ang focus natin talaga sa pagtulong sa ating ekonomiya, sa pagkain, sa kalusugan trabaho at ang pinaka focus nga namin maghilom ‘yung bansa hindi tayo magfo-focus sa away politika kasi nakita natin doon nagkakaroon ng problema at doon bumabagal ang tulong ng gobyerno,” he said.
