Pass or fail? Manila gave mayor 'fail' mark — Isko

Voters in Manila have expressed loud and clear what they think of the previous city administration, according to mayor-elect Isko Moreno Domagoso.

"The election result in the city of Manila was the total rejection of that group of people (outgoing administration) — they have no place in their hearts. Ineffective, chaotic, there's no government and so on and so forth," he said in an interview on The STAR's online show "Truth on the Line" yesterday.

Asked how he would rate his predecessor, whether "pass or fail," he said, "I think 'fail' is the answer of the people."

"With that kind of vote, that's really a total rejection, that kind of lead and mandate," he added.

Domagoso secured his return to city hall — following a single term as mayor from 2019 to 2022 — after getting 530,825 votes or 59.02 percent of the total votes, according to Commission on Elections data.
