MANILA MAYOR Isko Moreno earned lots of pogi points from netizens when he closed down a store in Binondo whose address says it’s in San Nicolas, Binondo, Manila, Province of China.
The store is also caught selling products without a valid license.
In a live broadcast, Yorme declared: “Hindi po ako governor ng China, mayor po ako ng Maynila, Philippines. Yun pong misrepresentation ng kanilang address is already a violation in getting a permit from the city of Manila.
"Binondo is part of Manila which is definitely not a province of China. At ni minsan, hindi ito naging bahagi ng Tsina sa anumang lathalain o sa kasaysayang naitala sa panahon ng mga ninuno natin.
"Hindi po ito katanggap-tanggap sa akin bilang Pilipino, bilang Manileño. Hindi po natin papayagan ito."
He said he won’t allow any superpower to bully us.
"Hindi natin hahayaan ang mga super power na ‘yan na para bang tayo’y pinipitik-pitik na lang sa mata at binabalewala nila ang sobrentiya ng ating bansa, at dito pa gagawin sa Maynila.
"Umasa po kayong hinding-hindi po namin papayagan itong mga indibidwal na ito na para bang sinasampal-sampal na lang tayo sa mukha natin at sa harapan natin.
"Uulitin ko po, ang Manila, kapitolyo ng bansa, ang bansa ay Pilipinas, at ang Pilipinas ay malaya. May sariling sobrentiya ang ating bansa.”
One netizen said Isko is truly more admirable in his brave stance to insist the sovereignty of our country, unlike our own president who seems to be so afraid of China and has given it and its citizens so many privileges, even allowing Chinese residents from Wuhan to get into Manila at the start of the pandemic.
