To achieve this, the first two years of an ‘Isko Moreno presidency’ will focus on building facilities that will provide the minimum basic needs of the people – quality housing, education and health care, and creating jobs and livelihood opportunities.
“Mahirap magbuhat ng bangko, pero at the very least, iaalay ko ang buhay ko pumanatag lang kayo. Hindi ko man kaya mabigyan sa kasiguruhan sa seguridad – hindi natin alam kung sino ang papapsok sa ating bansa at kung anong uri ng gamit ang ipanlalaban sa atin – pero hindi tayo susuko,” said Moreno. And Moreno said he will apply this bravery, courage and patriotism in his quest to address the perennial problems of poverty, hunger, unemployment and inequality once elected president.“Hindi ako matapang, meron din akong karuwagan sa buhay, takot ako sa karayom, sa multo, sa heights. Pero may mga bagay naman akong hindi inaatrasan lalo na kung ikaw na ang involved bilang mamamayan. I’l be with you,” he said.
He also vowed to clamp down on smuggling of agriculture products to protect the interests of local producers, like the hog and chicken raisers in Bulacan, and rice and vegetable farmers all over the country. Besides building more housing, world-class hospitals, modern public schools, and inter-island linkages, Moreno’s accelerated infrastructure program also prioritizes building more power plants, both conventional and renewable, to ensure a stable and affordable supply of electricity to grow the economy and attract foreign investments, thus provide more jobs.
