MANDAUE CITY, Cebu — For two days, Presidential aspirant and incumbent Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso visited Cebu and held dialogues with various sectors here in what he termed as a “listening tour.”
On his second day here, Saturday, November 6, 2021, Moreno maximized his time by visiting the Cebu Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), the new market in Carcar City in southern Cebu, paying a courtesy visit to Talisay City Mayor Gerald Anthony “Samsam” Gullas, and talking with Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies in Cebu City.
Saturday started for Moreno with a visit to the 8.9-kilometer expressway that is already near completion and is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2022.
Moreno said he was honored to have witnessed the unique venture of the local government units (LGUs) and the private sector, citing that such cooperation would serve as a role model by other LGUs as it bolsters economic growth.
He was accompanied by local officials including Third District Rep. Pablo John Garcia and Cebu City Councilor Joel Garganera.
