He says he will spend wisely and efficiently, cites how he managed Manila City budget.

'Noong pumasok kami sa Manila, zero pera literally but through efficient governance nakaahon kami.' | via @piaranada

@jairojourno @ramboreports @reyaika @maracepeda @piaranada Important to note, however, that Isko Moreno relied on billions worth of loans from DBP and LandBank to fund his infrastructure projects.

But it's true his city gov't was able to increase tax revenue collection each year, despite the pandemic.
