MANILA, Philippines — Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso on Wednesday assured that if he wins the presidency, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) community would not only be protected as they would also be part of his governance. As long as you are an asset to the state, you have talents that can be utilized in governance through public service, you are welcome,” said Moreno during an online meeting with the Filipino-American community in San Francisco, USA. Moreno pointed out that one only has to visit his office to see that the LGBTQI community is well represented, and functioning very well with the other members of his staff and with city hall employees in general. I have high respect for people because love begets love; respect begets respect,” he said. Moreno’s respect for the LGBTQI community was further manifested when he signed on October 29, 2020, Ordinance No.
