The incident was the second time Filipinos criticized the local chief executive in terms of project naming.
According to Manila Public Information Officer Julius Leonen, “ISKOnek” was the idea of Eastern Communications and not the city government.
“ISKOnek is the choice of Eastern Communications on how to brand the wi-fi kiosk. After receiving suggestions from netizens, we called on the attention of the private company to change it,” heThe incident was the second time Filipinos criticized the local chief executive in terms of project naming, especially since he has an “anti-epal” policy that explicitly prevents politicians’ names and faces from adorning government initiatives.
It served free rice porridge to the attendees of a Philippine flag-raising ceremony at the Andres Bonifacio Shrine. Apparently, it was named by his “friends and supporters who wanted to put the Mayor’s name on the food trucks,” according to the Manila Public Information Office. "Kusina ni Isko" is not a public project hehe. No public funds were used. These were donated by his friends and supporters, who wanted to put the Mayor's name on the food trucks. 🙂 Nevertheless, we thank them for the food they provided during the flag ceremony.
