'''	Francisco Moreno Domagoso'''  (born October 24, 1974), also known as '''Isko Moreno Domagoso''' ({{IPA-tl|isˈkɔʔ mɔˈɾɛ.nɔ dɔ.maˈɡɔ.sɔ}}) or simply '''Isko Moreno''', is a Filipino politician, actor, host and entrepreneur who served as the 27th [[Mayor of Manila]], the capital city of the Philippines, from 2019 to 2022. Before entering politics, Moreno first gained notability as an actor and television personality.

Moreno was born and raised in the [[Slums in Metro Manila|slums]] of [[Tondo, Manila]], and spent his childhood in poverty. After a modest career in show business, he entered politics in 1998, standing for election as a [[Manila City Council|city councilor of Manila]]; he was elected for three consecutive terms. He then pursued higher education, including some non-degree [[postgraduate education]] at [[Harvard Kennedy School]] and [[Saïd Business School|Oxford Saïd Business School]]. In 2007, he was elected as vice mayor of Manila for the first of three consecutive terms. In 2016, he was term-limited as vice mayor and unsuccessfully ran for senator in the [[2016 Philippine Senate election|2016 senatorial elections]], being placed 16th out of 50 candidates. He then served in the cabinet of President [[Rodrigo Duterte]] as [[Department of Social Welfare and Development|social welfare]] undersecretary for a few months in 2018, before successfully standing as mayor of Manila, winning in a [[landslide victory]] against his former allies [[Joseph Ejercito Estrada|Joseph Estrada]] and [[Alfredo Lim]] in the [[2019 Manila local elections|2019 local elections]] becoming the youngest elected mayor of Manila since the [[People Power Revolution]].

Moreno is widely regarded as one of the top-performing [[local chief executives]] in the Philippines; he has described his leadership style as akin to that of his predecessor Alfredo Lim, citing their shared commitment to reducing crime and maintaining cleanliness of the capital. Moreno is also noted for his [[know-how|streetwise]] public image due to his use of colorful language coupled with Manila street slang.<ref name="abs1">{{Cite news |last=Sabillo |first=Kristine |date=August 6, 2019 |title=How 'Yorme' Isko uses street slang to engage Manileños, millennials |work=ABS-CBN News |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/08/06/19/how-yorme-isko-uses-street-slang-to-engage-manileos-millennials |access-date=May 12, 2021}}</ref><ref name="abs2">{{Cite news |date=August 9, 2020 |title=Isko: More orderly Manila is Alfredo Lim's legacy |work=ABS-CBN News |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/09/20/isko-more-orderly-manila-is-alfredo-lims-legacy |access-date=September 3, 2021}}</ref> As a result, he is colloquially referred to as '''Yorme'''.{{efn|name="Yorme"|A [[verlan]] [[Back slang|backslang]] [[Metathesis (linguistics)|metathesis]] of the English word "mayor", which is used in [[Taglish]] and reversed [[Phoneme|phonemically]] as part of [[Filipino language|Filipino]]/[[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] street slang.}}<ref name="abs1" /> His political career has been met with positive-to-mixed critical reception, gaining praise for his political will, efficiency, hands-on leadership, people skills, [[non-partisanism]] on designations, and results-oriented performance, but criticism for his sporadic outspoken remarks, over-the-top [[populist]] tendencies, and lack of permanence to a national political party, although he remained a constant member since the inception of [[Asenso Manileño]], a local party he co-founded.

In September 2021, Moreno announced his bid for the Philippine presidency in the [[2022 Philippine presidential election|2022 presidential election]], in which he finished fourth out of 10 candidates.<ref name="pres">{{Cite news |last=Ranada |first=Pia |date=September 22, 2021 |title=Isko Moreno to run for president in 2022 |work=Rappler |url=https://www.rappler.com/nation/elections/isko-moreno-to-run-for-president |access-date=September 23, 2021}}</ref>

Having served in the government for 24 years, Moreno has received numerous recognition for his public service. He is widely credited for "restoring Manila to its former glory within a short period of time", despite disinformation against him by political rivals. He is generally known for his firm implementation of [[municipal services|city services]], [[beautification]] of derelict historical sites, and leading the establishment of city infrastructure. He announced retirement from politics after his mayoral term ended on June 30, 2022.<ref>{{Cite news |title=The legacy of our capital city |url=https://mb.com.ph/2020/10/25/the-legacy-of-our-capital-city/ |last=Vanzi |first=Sol |date=October 25, 2020 |work=[[Manila Bulletin]] |access-date=October 25, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=A brave new city |url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/124695/a-brave-new-city |last=Fajarito |first=James M. |date=October 20, 2019 |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |access-date=October 20, 2019}}</ref><ref name="Estavillo"/><ref name="InfraLegacy"/><ref>{{Cite news |title=VERA FILES FACT CHECK YEARENDER: Marcos Jr. benefited the most from election-related disinformation in 2021, Robredo was favorite target |url=https://verafiles.org/articles/vera-files-fact-check-yearender-marcos-jr-benefited-most-ele |last=Retona |first=Merinette |date=December 28, 2021 |work=[[Vera Files]] |access-date=December 28, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Former Manila Mayor Isko Moreno shares family bonding photo on first day as private citizen |url=https://www.pep.ph/news/local/166748/isko-moreno-family-bonding-a718-20220702 |last=Serato |first=Arniel C. |date=July 1, 2022 |work=Philippine Entertainment Portal |access-date=July 1, 2022}}</ref>

The Campaign Finance Office of the [[Commission on Elections (Philippines)|Commission on Elections]] (COMELEC) filed a complaint against Moreno in May 2017 for overspending in the 2013 elections, saying Moreno exceeded expenditure limits by over {{Philippine peso|100,000|link=yes}} in his final vice-mayoral bid. In his counter-affidavit that was received by COMELEC in October 2020, Moreno said his declared spending was a "simple and honest oversight" due to variances and un-reconciled accounts, and the mistake was in [[Good faith (law)|good faith]]. He later adjusted his expense report where the amended sum fell within campaign spending limits. Under Republic Act No. 7166, a candidate with political-party support who is standing for neither the positions of president or vice president may spend only up to ₱3.00 per registered voter in his or her constituency. Several [[Election monitoring|poll watchdogs]] have echoed support for Moreno and have campaigned for the revision of an outdated spending cap because they said such law, which was enacted in 1991, no longer reflected actual spending, and that such action would make the disclosure of candidates and political parties more truthful. Under the poll body's Rules of Procedure, preliminary investigations on election offenses must be terminated within 20 days after the receipt of counter-affidavits, after which a resolution should be made within five days. However, there has been no resolution on the case since then and it is unlikely to bring the case to court because COMELEC may be found guilty of "inordinate and oppressive delay". In its defense, COMELEC said the slow pace of the procedures is "usual" due to unclear delegation and delineation of functions.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Isko Moreno's campaign overspending case still in limbo after 5 years |url=https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/in-depth/isko-moreno-campaign-statement-contributions-expenditures-2013-election-pcij-analysis/ |last1=Salazar |first1= Cherry |author2-link=Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism |last2=Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism |first2=PCIJ |date=September 24, 2022 |work=[[Rappler]] |access-date=September 24, 2022}}</ref>

In September 2014, five [[barangay captain|barangay chairpersons]] from Tondo filed a plunder complaint against Moreno and several other city officials in Manila with the [[Ombudsman of the Philippines|Office of the Ombudsman]] for allegedly diverting real property tax shares amounting to ₱77 million to a "dummy" barangay in late 2013. Moreno said the accusations were politically motivated. According to him, the dummy barangay the complainants were referring to was Barangay 128 in [[Smokey Mountain]]. Moreno also said the funds they gave to Smokey Mountain, as well as the poor barangays in Parola and Baseco, were "floating funds" from uninhabited barangays in the city's piers, and that such action was a "normal proceeding" since the time of former mayors Lito Atienza and Alfredo Lim. Moreno alleged the complainants wanted to take a share of the funds but failed to properly request them. Moreno said he and his co-defendants were willing to face the allegations but there had been no official report or publicly available update from the Office of the Ombudsman regarding the complaint.<ref>{{Cite news |last=dela Cruz |first=Kathlyn |date=September 12, 2014 |title=Isko Moreno on plunder raps: 'Usong-uso eh' |work=ABS-CBN News |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/nation/metro-manila/09/12/14/isko-moreno-plunder-raps-usong-uso-eh |access-date=March 29, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=September 9, 2021 |title=FALSE: Media did not report on plunder complaint vs Isko Moreno |work=Rappler |url=https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/fact-check/philippine-media-did-not-report-plunder-complaint-vs-isko-moreno/ |access-date=March 29, 2022}}</ref>

On February 3, 2021, the city government of Manila, headed by Moreno, acquired a {{convert|6,003|m2|sqft|sp=us|adj=on}} private lot worth {{Philippine peso|111 million}} located at Pasig Line in [[San Andres, Manila|San Andres]] <!-- not Santa Ana as the boundary is along Tejeron --> through Ordinance No. 8115 (2006). The purchased land will be used for the "Land for the Landless" program of Manila Urban Settlements Office. The land acquisition is perceived to provide housing to more than 600 low-income informal settlers and homeless families.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Manila City gov't buys P111-M private lot for housing program |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1391714/manila-city-govt-buys-p111-m-private-lot-for-housing-program |last=Gonzales |first=Catherine |date=February 3, 2021 |access-date=February 3, 2021 |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]]}}</ref>

From 2019 to 2020, government-owned banks [[Development Bank of the Philippines]] and [[Land Bank of the Philippines]] granted Moreno's request for financial loans for infrastructure projects after the assessment and approval of the [[Department of Budget and Management (Philippines)|Department of Budget and Management]] (DBM). The City of Manila had been denied loans by government-owned banks in the previous city administrations due to a reputation of being "not bankable". In 2019, Moreno reportedly inherited a zero budget from the previous administration. After presenting his infrastructure plans, the DBM's certification to prove the city's capability to pay, and the [[Supreme Court of the Philippines|Supreme Court]]'s Mandanas ruling that entitles local government units to receive an additional budget allocation from both internal revenue taxes and national taxes starting in 2022, the government-owned banks became interested in the potential revenue of Moreno's infrastructures and the city again became "bankable". The loans granted to Manila serve as an advance receipt of Manila's guaranteed Mandanas budget allotment, ensuring future full payment to the banks as well as the revenue that will be generated by the infrastructure assets. Moreno's 10-year infrastructure plan was apparently achieved in three years with the completion of his housing projects, new school buildings, new hospitals, and Manila's renovation and beautification programs. The city government was able to increase tax revenue collection each year from its infrastructure assets in 2019 to 2022 compared to the previous administrations, despite the pandemic, based on the [[Commission on Audit (Philippines)|Commission on Audit]]'s annual reports prompting the city government not to impose additional taxes on Manila residents.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Isko airs side |url=https://journalnews.com.ph/isko-airs-side/ |last=Reyes |first=Edd |date=May 18, 2022 |work=[[People's Journal]] |access-date=May 18, 2022}}</ref><ref name="InfraLegacy">{{Cite news |title=Isko Moreno's infrastructure legacy in Manila: Fast, furious, and ambitious |url=https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/in-depth/isko-moreno-infrastructure-projects-legacy-manila/ |last=Ranada |first=Pia |date=January 20, 2022 |work=[[Rappler]] |access-date=January 20, 2022}}</ref>

On November 12, 2019, the left-leaning group Panday Sining, the cultural arm of [[Anakbayan]], defaced the newly painted and cleaned [[Lagusnilad Underpass]] near the [[Manila City Hall]]. Moreno publicly criticized the group and rejected their apology. Moreno proceeded with the group's arrest after another act of vandalism in [[Recto station|Recto LRT Station]] was attributed to them. Panday Sining was officially declared [[Persona non grata (Philippines)|''persona non grata'']] in the city of Manila on December 6, 2019. Many left-leaning groups condemned the mayor's actions against them.<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 23, 2020 |title=Panday Sining declared as Persona Non Grata |work=ABS-CBN News |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/06/19/panday-sining-declared-persona-non-grata-in-manila-over-vandalism |access-date=January 21, 2021}}</ref>

A few days after, Moreno publicly condemned and ordered the removal of graffiti painted by leftist advocates around [[Welcome Rotonda]]. On December 7, 2020, in an interview posted on YouTube, Moreno vehemently denied he had any support for or affiliation with the terrorist groups. Moreno also opposed tarpaulins depicting faces of politicians, even if they are his partymates, and had ordered the removal of political tarpaulins since he assumed office.<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 23, 2020 |title=No Politics over Tarp Removal |work=ABS-CBN |url=https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2020/10/25/no-politics-over-tarp-removal/ |access-date=January 21, 2021 |archive-date=November 1, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101101607/https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2020/10/25/no-politics-over-tarp-removal/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In October 2020, Moreno signed OrdinanceNo.  8695 protecting members of the [[LGBT]] community from all forms of discrimination and abuse, including the denial of employment and other opportunities on the basis of the person's sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. As part of its campaign against discrimination, the Manila city government mandated all establishments to have [[unisex public toilet|gender-neutral toilets]] by 2023, and they would be a requirement for the approval and renewal of business permits.<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 29, 2020 |title=PH capital Manila passes ordinance on LGBTQI protection |work=ABS-CBN News |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/29/20/ph-capital-manila-passes-ordinance-on-lgbtqi-protection |access-date=January 21, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Manila businesses ordered to have gender-neutral toilets by 2023 |url=https://www.rappler.com/nation/businesses-manila-ordered-gender-neutral-toilets-2023-anti-discrimination-ordinance/ |date=October 29, 2020 |last=Talabong |first=Rambo |work=[[Rappler]] |access-date=October 29, 2020}}</ref>

====Women's rights====

In November 2020, Moreno signed into law Ordinance No. 8681 known as the "Gender and Development Code of the City of Manila" or the "GAD Code"  which increases maternity leave for breastfeeding women working in the private sector, increased paternity leave for new fathers, and increased women's reproductive health benefits. The ordinance also protects women and those of other genders against sexual abuse, violence, trafficking, gender discrimination, pedophilia, commercial exploitation, and sexual harassment. The policy also provides support for victims of violence such as immediate investigations, free medical services and counseling, and the creation of support groups and community-based psychological programs. The ordinance also said one third of jobs in the city development council for gender and development, and in the barangay, should be reserved for women "in recognition of their considerable leadership and involvement".<ref>{{Cite news |title=Manila approves gender code to expand benefits, protect violence survivors |url=https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/11/10/Manila-approves-gender-code-to-expand-benefits-protect-violence-survivors--.html |date=November 10, 2020 |publisher=CNN Philippines Staff |website=[[CNN Philippines]] |access-date=November 10, 2020 |archive-date=November 10, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201110103653/https://cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/11/10/Manila-approves-gender-code-to-expand-benefits-protect-violence-survivors--.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Moreno has praised the country's female medical and health workers, as well as women front-line workers in other fields, acknowledging their roles as "critical and crucial as much as their male counterparts" in the country's response against COVID-19. He also lauded the mothers who leave their families to fulfill their duties as front-line staff. Moreno also recognized the efforts of his vice mayor [[Honey Lacuna]], Manila's first-ever elected female vice mayor, calling her an "effective leader who has taken solid steps in gender equality and women empowerment", and described her as like an older sister to him. He gave Lacuna executive functions on a par with his mayoral duties.

Moreno expressed strong opinions on a foreign policy aligned with what he called a "Filipino-first" policy, under which the Philippines would form contracts, organizations, and trade agreements, only if they are beneficial to Filipinos.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1559963/isko-moreno-vows-to-adopt-filipino-first-foreign-policy |title=Isko Moreno vows to adopt 'Filipino first' foreign policy |last=Mendoza |first=John Eric |date=February 25, 2022 |access-date=February 25, 2022 |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]]}}</ref>

According to Moreno, the Philippines is not "militarily prepared" for an encounter with China, and that laws such as the [[Law of the Sea]] must be upheld. He said he believes the country's [[Secretary of National Defense (Philippines)|defense secretary]] should come from the [[Philippine Navy|navy]] because the Philippines is an [[Archipelago|archipelagic country]]. He said the Philippines' should be "fearless" in asserting the country's claims to [[South China Sea]] islands, and should be responsive to the plight of Filipino fishermen, while it should be "fair" and "sensible" in dealing with other countries also occupying some maritime features in the sea, especially in trade. Moreno criticized the United Nations (UN), questioning what they are doing in light of China's disregard of the [[Permanent Court of Arbitration]] (PCA). According to Moreno, China needs to accept a [[Philippines v. China|2016 arbitration award]] of the Hague ruling that made clear the Philippines' entitlements, including where it can fish and exploit offshore oil and gas, also citing the [[Velarde map]] as reference.<ref name="IskoAbunda"/> He also expressed a wish to form partnerships with other countries and to prepare the Philippines for joint trade with China.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://ph.news.yahoo.com/where-does-isko-moreno-stand-on-key-issues-210022288.html |title=Where does Isko Moreno stand on key issues? |last=Famatigan |first=Mark Ernest |date=February 2, 2022 |access-date=February 2, 2022 |work=[[Yahoo!

Isko Moreno has been described as a populist who has a "[[rags-to-riches]]" story, rising from his childhood as a slum-dwelling scavenger to become a celebrity and later entering politics. Moreno is also known for his [[know-how|streetwise]] image and his frequent use of Manila street slang, even in media interviews, to engage the masses—especially young adults—earning him the alias "Yorme"{{efn|name="Yorme"}} when he assumed office as city mayor in 2019. His supporters call Moreno's use of colorful language "''ISKOnaryo''", [[portmanteau]] of Isko and ''Diksiyonaryo'' (dictionary). He is also known for his signature dance steps to the song ''(Dying Inside) To Hold You'' by [[Timmy Thomas]], a dance he frequently performed during his early show-business career. Moreno's popularity on social media has been attributed to his celebrity status, charisma, and commoner humor. Although his social media presence is well-received, as shown by its massive statistical growth in interactions,<ref>{{Cite news |title=Mayor Isko Moreno's presence on Facebook grew massively, quickly after 2019 |url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/05/02/22/isko-morenos-presence-on-facebook-grew-massively-quickly-after-2019 |date=May 2, 2022 |last=Burgos |first=Arlene |work=[[ABS-CBN News]] |access-date=May 2, 2022}}</ref> a number of critics describe such endeavor as ''pa-epal'' (attention-seeker) and "too showbiz".

Moreno's remarks against the country's elite positioned him as a "man of the people". Moreno developed a reputation as an "underdog" politician who does not retreat from political giants, elitists, and moralists. Moreno has often been criticized for his "brash" style of talking but he dismisses this as his "real talk style" of addressing his constituents to which the elite could not relate. Moreno also positioned himself as a "politician of the ordinary people", though he was criticized for overusing his rags-to-riches narrative to the point it became clichéd. He has been widely compared to 16th president [[Rodrigo Duterte]]; critics labeled him  "Duterte Lite" or "Duterte 2.0", and accused him of [[Sitting on the fence|fence-sitting]] on some issues pertaining to Duterte.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Isko Moreno: Time of elite at an end |url=https://www.philstar.com/nation/2021/11/21/2142813/isko-moreno-time-elite-end |last=Ong |first=Ghio |date=November 21, 2021 |work=[[The Philippine Star]] |access-date=November 21, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Duterte Lite: Is fence-sitting a sin or strategy in 2022 elections? |url=https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/in-depth/presidential-bets-fence-sitting-sin-strategy-2022-polls/ |last=Ranada |first=Pia |date=September 28, 2021 |work=[[Rappler]] |access-date=September 28, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Isko Blasts 'Elite' Politics |url=https://www.onenews.ph/articles/isko-blasts-elite-politics |last=Cayabyab |first=Marc Jayson |date=October 19, 2021 |work=[[One News (TV channel)|One News]] |access-date=October 19, 2021}}</ref>

===Philanthropy===
Since 2019, Moreno has donated about {{Philippine peso|100 million}} of his personal fees from [[Celebrity branding|product endorsements]] to charities; these include [[Philippine General Hospital]], cancer-stricken children, and child liver-transplant patients, and to provinces including [[Batangas]], [[North Cotabato]], and [[Cebu City]], which have been hit by natural disasters.<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 21, 2021 |title=Domagoso: Over P100m in fees went to charity |work=[[Manila Standard]] |url=https://manilastandard.net/news/national/367985/domagoso-over-p100m-in-fees-went-to-charity.html |access-date=March 29, 2022}}</ref><ref name="Estavillo">{{Cite news |title=Salamat, Doc Willie&nbsp;... for Yorme Isko! |url=https://www.philstar.com/opinion/2022/05/03/2178300/salamat-doc-willie-yorme-isko |date=May 3, 2022 |last=Punzalan-Estavillo |first=Elvie |work=[[The Philippine Star]] |access-date=May 3, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=PGH gets P30.5-m funding from Manila mayor, others |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1183847/pgh-gets-p30-5-m-funding-from-manila-mayor-others |date=October 31, 2019 |last=Valenzuela |first=Nikka G. |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |access-date=October 31, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Mayor Isko reunited with boy he helped to get a liver transplant 3 years ago |url=https://mb.com.ph/2022/03/04/mayor-isko-reunited-with-boy-he-helped-to-get-a-liver-transplant-3-years-ago/ |date=March 4, 2022 |last=Ramos |first=Jaleen |work=[[Manila Bulletin]] |access-date=March 4, 2022}}</ref>
