Mayor “Isko Moreno” campaigns against illegal activities in Manila

Manila Mayor “Isko Moreno” Domagoso along with the Manila Police District swept illegal vendors off the most cramped streets of Manila in a two-day operation in campaign against illegal activities in the city last July 2-3.

The busy streets of Blumentritt, Divisoria, Binondo, Quiapo, Recto, and Pedro Gil were almost unrecognizable without the majority of tiangge vendors occupying the sidewalks.

Juan Luna, the infamous street of Divisoria is clean and completely passable by vehicles and pedestrians alike. In addition, drivers don’t have to cut rides anymore because they can pass through Divisoria without being stuck because of illegal vendors and

The operation continued the day after where 75 video karera and fruit game machines were seized which the Mayor destroyed in front of Manila City Hall.

On his third day in office, the cramped streets of Blumentritt, Divisoria, Binondo, Quiapo, Recto, and Pedro Gil were free of road obstructions which generate amusement and doubt on the Manilenos. According to an interview by Manila Bulletin, people were relieved but also skeptical of the operation because most politicians are often like this on the start of their term.

To show that he meant business, the Mayor was in Divisoria on Wednesday morning. Using a megaphone, he reminded the vendors not to give money to any government official, even barangay leaders, in exchange for letting them ply their trade.

However, the Mayor ensures the continuity of the campaign against the illegal activities in Manila. To stand on his ground, Mayor Isko revealed that a P5 Million bribe was being offered to him to leave Divisoria the way it is but he declined.

He also said that you will determine whether he has accepted the bribe if Divisoria and Juan Luna went back to the way they are.
