Former President Joseph Estrada and Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno fired the opening salvo in the campaign battle for Manila on Easter Sunday.
In a 7-hour proclamation rally at the Liwasang Bonifacio, the two used rhetoric and humor to outline their programs for Manila, and to blast the leadership of Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim.
Estrada and Moreno blame Lim, who was mayor of Manila for 12 years, for the “decay” of Manila, once a world-renowned capital.
The two say they will “bring back the glory and honor of Manila as the capital of the Philippines.”
Manila is one of the most watched local races, with the heated rivalry between former allies Estrada and Lim.
The city has 6 districts and over 950,000 registered voters.
Lim and his slate will hold their own proclamation rally on Monday with President Benigno Aquino as main guest.
