Presidential bet Isko Moreno concedes

By Gabriela Baron

Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso conceded defeat in the presidential race after unofficial and partial results showed his rival Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. with a huge lead.

Domagoso is currently fourth in the unofficial and partial results.

“Maraming-maraming salamat sa ating kababayan sa ating buong mundo, nanalo po ang buong Pilipino. Ibig sabihin, naipakita natin na ang demokrasya sa ating bansa ay nananatili at nagtagumpay ang ating mga kababayan na makapamili ng bagong lider,” Domagoso said.

He thanked his supporters, volunteers, and his party members at Aksyon Demokratiko.

“I hope someday malingon ko kayo at tatanawin ito ng aking pamilya na malaking utang na loob sa inyong lahat,” he added.

Domagoso also congratulated Marcos and urged the public to support the incoming administration.

“Binabati ko ang pamilya ni dating senador Ferdinand Marcos [Jr.] sa pagpili sa kanya nang higit na nakararami sa ating kababayan na hahalinhin bilang pangulo ng bansa.” – ag
