The campaign period for the national election has started. The presidential bets held their proclamation rally in different areas. For Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and his team, they kicked off their campaign in Manila.
Mayor Isko is the standard-bearer of Partido Aksyon Demokratiko. He is running with Doc Willie Ong, the vice-presidential bet of the party.

According to the report, Mayor Isko Moreno stressed that it can be the happiness of some people and the poll body may think about a more sensible rule. Meanwhile, he expressed that he understands that the policy is in pursuit to prevent the spread of the virus.
Doc Willie also backed the stand of Mayor Isko regarding the “no selfie” rule. He stressed that there is a low chance of infection in open areas and during caravans unlike in closed spaces.
