Is Mayor Isko Manila's new 'Master Showman'?

Katrina Domingo, ABS-CBN News
Posted at Oct 10 2019 04:03 PM

Since his upset victory in the May 2019 midterm polls over incumbent Mayor Joseph
Estrada, Moreno has turned the same catchphrase of his entertainment industry mentor
into one of the hallmarks of his leadership.
Moreno's office hours are usually reserved for meetings and courtesy visits. Evenings are
spent on business dinners aimed at luring tycoons to reinvest in the capital city. And
sometimes, he also works after midnight, roving Manila's dank alleys for surprise
inspections and visits.
"Huwag ninyo alalahanin na wala akong tulog. Mas mahirap 'yung walang gising," Moreno
would occasionally say in jest.
(Don't worry about my lack of sleep. It would be worse if I don't wake up.)
"Aral kaya ako kay Kuya Germs (German Moreno), walang tulugan," he said.
(I learned well from German Moreno, no sleep.)
But instead of using the TV medium the way the original "Master Showman" did, the 44-
year-old Manila mayor pivoted through a new stage: social media.

19. Which branch of the government does Mayor Isko Moreno belong?
