Is Isko Moreno closing doors on public service?
After his mayoral term ended and his presidential run concluded in 2022, Isko Moreno took a break from politics to focus on his showbiz career. Is he now ready to embark on public service again? The ex-Manila City mayor said his journey to public service is currently on hold, with a comma but not a period.
During the Sparkle world tour media conference on Thursday, June 27, the former Manila City mayor said it is not his priority to run for a seat in politics right now.
“I don’t think it is on top of my mind right now. I truly love serving people. Half of my life, 24 years, was dedicated to public service. In fact, still today, I continue to share some ideas with some officials of the country and some localities,” he said.
Moreno affirmed that his love for serving the people will not perish, but his priorities just lie elsewhere right now.
“Hindi mawawala ang pagmamahal ko sa mga taga Maynila at sa taong bayan. To cut the long story short, to make the answer shorter, may kuwit naman. Wala pang tuldok,” he remarked.

“Pinagpapasalamat ko sa Diyos kung saan man ako nandoon ngayon. Pinagpapasalamat ko sa taong bayan for giving me the opportunity to be of service. And hindi ‘yon mawawala sa puso ko. Hindi ko lang siya masiyadong iniintindi ngayon dahil, I continue to fulfill my obligation as an artist of GMA 7,” added the actor-politician.
The former “Tahanang Pinakamasaya” host also underscored that right now he’s also taking the time to be with his family, as it was something he could not do when he was still active in politics.
“For the meantime, nag-eenjoy muna ako magbayad sa pamilya ko ng oras. You know, after 24 years of doing public service, it cannot be denied that a big portion of it is pinagkait ko sa mga anak ko,” he said.
“Kaya ngayon siguro, for the meantime, maunawaan naman ako ng mga tao na pamilya muna ako. Habol-habol muna nang kaunti,” he continued.
Meanwhile, Moreno is set to headline the US and Canada leg of the GMA Sparkle world tour alongside Alden Richards, Julia Anne San Jose, Rayver Cruz, Ai-ai delas Alas and Boobay in August.
