From "Pagpag" Boy to Manila Mayor: Isko Moreno's rise to power
MANILA, Philippines – Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso is currently winning the praise of many as he makes waves of changes in the country's capital city.
But before he occupied Manila's highest seat of power, Isko Moreno had once been part of the city's face of poverty.
Moreno's rise to power is more than that of a "Cinderella man." For his was a story of resilience, determination, love for learning and reaching for one's ambitions.
Moreno was born on October 24,1974 in the impoverished slums of Tondo, Mana. His father, Joaquin, worked as a stevedore and his mother, Rosario, took care of the family's needs.
Moreno shared he was 10-year old when he realized that they were poor. He said, "Kasi wala kaming Atari, wala kaming Game & Watch, yung kapitbahay namin may Betamax na."
Life wasn't easy for the family and his father didn't always have a job. At a young age, Moreno learned to find odd ways to find food on the table or they would starve. It was at that time when he discovered "pagpag" or discarded food left in the garbage.
"Sa araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos, mamimili ka lang: yung mamatay na dilat ang mata o mamatay na may hepa," Moreno recalled.
Moreno would scavenge the garbage of restaurants to find "pagpag." His mother would cook it for the family and even sometimes sell it to neighbors for a small amount.
When the boy grew up, Moreno learned to hustle on the streets by collecting old newspapers and bottles and sold them to junk shops. Moreno was determined not to be a wayward as he had a goal to fulfill: finish high school.
Moreno's father only finished grade 4 but his son was determined to achieve more. College seemed like an impossible dream for the young man but he had big plans. Moreno wanted to be a captain of a ship.
Being a trash collector, Moreno was bullied in school. He recalled how relentless his classmates would tease him and said, "Naiiyak lang minsan." He remain undeterred for he had a dream to accomplish.
But like always, fate has a funny way of changing our plans.
While attending a wake, Moreno was approached by talent manager and producer, Wowie Roxas who offered him a job in front of a camera. It was the beginning of Moreno's showbiz career.
Moreno got in the 7th batch of the popular variety show, "That's Entertainment." He went on to fulfill his job as a charming actor to make movies and various projects.
Eventually, the actor had another dream set in mind. He wanted to be a public servant.
Moreno's first taste of politics was when he ran as councilor in 1998. He found himself in the middle of dirty trash talks, as his opponents lambasted his lack of education. "Artista ka lang, high school graduate ka lang," was what he heard from critics.
But instead of putting him down, Moreno used these to become best arsenal. During one of his campaign speeches, had a rousing speech saying, "Walang sino man ang makakapagsabi dito na alam nila ang pakiramdam niyo kapag kumakalam ang sikmura ninyo. Ako alam ko ’yon.”
Moreno won his first election at age 23 years old. He served as councilor for three more terms. After, Moreno went on to serve as vice mayor for three terms too. He ran as a senator in 2016 but lost.
The self-made man also didn't stop learning. In 2003, Moreno earned his business administration degree from International Academy of Management and Economics. He also took an Executive Leadership Program at the University of the Philippines. Moreno also took up some law units at Arellano University.
He was later sent to Harvard University for an Executive Leadership Program and Oxford University for a Strategic Leadership Program.
From a "pagpag" boy in Tondo, Moreno is now making sweeping changes in Manila as he hopes to bring back the city's glory days.
"I'm no Superman," Moreno admitted but also promised, "But, it will be different."

Is this Angel Locsin’s reply to Luis Manzano’s viral reaction on her engagement?
MANILA, Philippines – Netizens are abuzz on the recent “online drama” involving former lovers Angel Locsin and Luis Manzano.
The issue began when a video clip of Manzano reacting to the recent engagement of his ex-girlfriend Locsin went viral online on Friday. A tweet shared by netizen Marvin Olivarez showed Manzano being asked for his reaction on the engagement.
Manzano can be heard saying, “Wala akong kinalaman sa kwento nila.”
When the reporter further asked if he is happy for Locsin, he replied, “Huwag niya ako idamay sa kwento niya. Hindi kailangan ang opinyon o pangalan ko diyan.”
Further asked, “So masaya ka right now?” Smiling, Manzano reiterated, “Basta wala akong kinalaman sa kwentong ‘yan.”
The video clip was viewed over 31,000 times earning mixed reactions from netizens. The netizen who posted the clip wrote, “Nanggigil ako kay Luis Manzano! Inaano ka ba ni Angel Locsin?”
Netizens slammed Luis for his “distasteful and bitter” comment towards Locsin. Some suggested it would have been more “gentlemanly” and polite for Manzano to simply say he was happy. Others defended Manzano saying he was only misinterpreted and that his reaction on the issue shouldn’t have been sought in the first place.
A netizen shared her reaction and tweeted, “Move on na @luckymanzano. Nakakatanda ang pagiging bitter.” The tweet got the attention of the host and clarified he meant “‘wag na” and not’ “hindi niya” kami idamay sa kwento niya.”
When netizens continued to have a divided reaction, Manzano added another comment to clarify that he might have sounded differently because he talked too fast.
Manzano tweeted his late reply on the issue insisting that he meant “wag niyo na” and that their opinion is irrelevant to the news of Locsin’s engagement.

| Netizen quickly jumped into conclusion that Angel Locsin's Instagram Story was a shade towards her ex-boyfriend Luis Manzano. |
The issue began when a video clip of Manzano reacting to the recent engagement of his ex-girlfriend Locsin went viral online on Friday. A tweet shared by netizen Marvin Olivarez showed Manzano being asked for his reaction on the engagement.
Manzano can be heard saying, “Wala akong kinalaman sa kwento nila.”
When the reporter further asked if he is happy for Locsin, he replied, “Huwag niya ako idamay sa kwento niya. Hindi kailangan ang opinyon o pangalan ko diyan.”
Further asked, “So masaya ka right now?” Smiling, Manzano reiterated, “Basta wala akong kinalaman sa kwentong ‘yan.”
The video clip was viewed over 31,000 times earning mixed reactions from netizens. The netizen who posted the clip wrote, “Nanggigil ako kay Luis Manzano! Inaano ka ba ni Angel Locsin?”
NANG GIGIL AKO KAY LUIS MANZANO!! INAANO KA BA NI ANGEL LOCSIN???? pic.twitter.com/Lq8snVYv9M— Marvin Olivarez (@mharvzolivarez) July 11, 2019
Netizens slammed Luis for his “distasteful and bitter” comment towards Locsin. Some suggested it would have been more “gentlemanly” and polite for Manzano to simply say he was happy. Others defended Manzano saying he was only misinterpreted and that his reaction on the issue shouldn’t have been sought in the first place.
A netizen shared her reaction and tweeted, “Move on na @luckymanzano. Nakakatanda ang pagiging bitter.” The tweet got the attention of the host and clarified he meant “‘wag na” and not’ “hindi niya” kami idamay sa kwento niya.”
Ang sabi ko “wag na” (hindi niya) kami idamay sa kwento o love story nila :) ang kwento nila ay sa kanila, ang amin ay amin ;) kaya wag na kami idamay ng ibang fans or press sa love story ng ibang tao ;) https://t.co/zi7jud895W— Luis Manzano (@luckymanzano) July 12, 2019
When netizens continued to have a divided reaction, Manzano added another comment to clarify that he might have sounded differently because he talked too fast.
Or i may have said “wag niyo na” ng mabilis kaya ganun tunog but ayan malinaw na what i said and meant ha ;) https://t.co/zi7jud895W— Luis Manzano (@luckymanzano) July 12, 2019
Manzano tweeted his late reply on the issue insisting that he meant “wag niyo na” and that their opinion is irrelevant to the news of Locsin’s engagement.
Uulitin ko lang, one for the road, last na ;) i meant “wag niyo na” baka mabilis pagkakasabi ko kaya ganun labas ;) ang love story nila ay kanila ;) di na kelangan ng opinyon namin :) https://t.co/O16qIAv8v9— Luis Manzano (@luckymanzano) July 12, 2019

Pinoy nurse helps deliver a baby while aboard international flight
MANILA, Philippines – A Filipino nurse aboard an international flight helped deliver a baby boy.
What was supposed to be an uneventful flight home to the Philippines, turned into a memorable one for Francis Dominic Mendoza.
Mendoza, who works as a nurse in Dublin, Ireland was aboard a Qatar Airways flight for a vacation on July 9, 2019. At around 5:00 in the morning, a commotion happened when a pregnant woman suddenly went into labor.
The woman, who also turned out to be a Filipino, was traveling alone and was 37 weeks pregnant.
Mendoza's "nurse instincts" kicked in as he and another Filipina crew got to work preparing the mother for active labor. And at 35,000 feet high above the sky, they were able to safely deliver a healthy baby boy.
Mendoza recalled, "We wrapped the baby in a blanket and I monitored the mother’s vital signs using equipment from the plane’s first aid kit. I monitored her for signs of bleeding which is a concern after one gives birth."
The pilot asked the Filipino nurse if it was safe for the baby and the mother to continue a few more hours of flight to Manila.
Mendoza advised that while the mother's vital signs are stable, he was concerned she might start bleeding during the flight. The newborn baby was also at risk for hypothermia because of the temperature inside the plane and could easily get an infection.
An emergency landing was made in Bangkok, Thailand at 6:15 in the morning. Medics took the mother and child to hospital.
Mendoza shared that all the medical expenses were shouldered by Qatar Airways.
The 25-year-old nurse couldn't help but share how rewarding the feeling was to be of help during unusual emergencies.
Mendoza wrote, "I have never been so happy and fulfilled as a nurse! Assisting this woman who bravely delivered a healthy baby boy inside the plane while we were in the middle of the flight was just so Amazing. Nothing more!!!!”
He also brushed aside the "hero" label given to him by netizens for his actions.
"Although some people have called what I did a heroic act, I only did what a nurse should do in a situation like that,” Mendoza said.
The nurse, who was a graduate of University of Negros Occidental–Recoletos in Bacolod City, added that his motto in life is “have courage and be kind."
