1. Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso
Fondly called “Yorme”, the Manila Mayor, now a presidential candidate, proved his mettle with numerous campaigns to improve the country’s capital. From efficient vaccination schedules, investment in technology, an attention to culture and the arts to a long list of beautification and clean-ups across the city, Moreno has become one of the most visible representatives to hold the post. Prior to becoming the 27th mayor of Manila, he served in its City Council representing the urban district of Tondo, from which he hails. In September, Moreno launched his presidential bid for the 2022 elections at the Baseco Compound in Tondo. Despite his rise to popularity, Moreno remains humble, often seen on-site amongst various districts of the capital.
