The 2022 presidential campaign of Isko Moreno Domagoso began on September 22, 2021, when Isko Moreno announced his intention to run for the presidency in the 2022 Philippine presidential election.[2] Isko Moreno has served as the mayor of Manila, the country's capital, since June 30, 2019.

Background[]

Francisco Moreno Domagoso, more popularly known as Isko Moreno, started his career in the entertainment industry. Born and raised in the slums of Tondo, Manila, Isko Moreno first gained popularity as a cast member of the variety show That's Entertainment during the 1990s. In 1998, he entered politics when he was elected a councilor for the 1st district of Manila and served for three consecutive terms. In 2007, he ran and was elected vice mayor of Manila under former mayor Alfredo Lim from 2007 to 2013 and Joseph Estrada from 2013 to 2016. He ran for a Senate seat in 2016 but was defeated. He returned to the political limelight in 2019 following his election as mayor of Manila, defeating Joseph Estrada, the then-incumbent mayor.

Isko Moreno was reportedly to take his oath as a member of Aksyon Demokratiko, the party founded by Senator Raul Roco in September 2021.[3] This was after he resigned from the National Unity Party.[4] However, this did not happen as an unexpectedly large number of people turned up on vaccination sites, particularly in Manila.[5] Moreno was subsequently elected party president a week later.[6] He later announced his presidential bid on September 22 with Dr. Willie Ong as his running mate.[7] They filed their certificates of candidacy (COCs) on October 4.[8]

Lito Banayo, who previously served as the campaign managers of presidents Benigno Aquino III and Rodrigo Duterte during their respective presidential bids, was appointed as Moreno's campaign manager.[9] Former Bases Conversion and Development Authority chairperson Vince Dizon was also initially reported to be part of Moreno's campaign team as deputy campaign manager,[10] although this was later denied by Dizon.[11]

On October 24, 2021, Moreno's supporters held a "blue wave caravan," which was joined by about 1,000 motorcycle riders and 100 vehicles.[12] On November 15, 2021, Moreno held another motorcade in Metro Manila and Cebu. Organizers estimated about 5,000 motorcycle riders and 500 cars joined the event in Metro Manila and 500 participants in Cebu.[13] Moreno's official campaign website was later launched on November 25, 2021, during a virtual meet-and-greet.[14]

Moreno is the first candidate to meet with Bangsamoro Chief Minister Murad Ebrahim who welcomed him as an "incoming president" during a courtesy call[15] As a result, this was reported as a sign that Ebrahim has endorsed Moreno's campaign. Ebrahim's party and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front later clarified that the Bangsamoro regional government has yet to formally endorse any candidate.[16][17]

Running mate[]

According to Banayo, Grace Poe was their first choice as Moreno's running mate. Willie Ong, a cardiologist and media personality, would later be selected as Moreno's running mate. Ong left Lakas–CMD a day later after his announcement to run for vice president.[18] He joined Moreno's political party, Aksyon Demokratiko, on September 25.[19]

Rallies[]

On February 8, 2022, Isko Moreno held his proclamation rally at the Kartilya ng Katipunan in Manila.[20] He was joined by his running mate Ong and Aksyon's senatorial slate.[20][21]

On February 20, 2022, Moreno started his campaign in Mindanao, beginning in the region of Bangsamoro. Campaign events in the region notably featured local officials pushing for a Moreno and Sara Duterte (ISSA) tandem.[22] As a result, Ong was absent from the campaign activities, a decision that was made by their campaign manager stating that it might be "embarrassing" for Ong to go there due to the support for Duterte.[23] Moreno's camp distanced themselves from the purported tandem, affirming their support for Ong.[22][24]
