MANILA, Philippines — Manila City Mayor and Aksyon Demokratiko standard-bearer Isko Moreno Domagoso said he was still hopeful that he can receive President Rodrigo Duterte's endorsement for the presidency later on, pointing out that there are still 61 days left in the campaign period. 

“I'm not [worried,] it's not May yet,” he told reporters at the Tarlac Provincial Capitol where his campaign team was being hosted to a lunch by Gov. Susan Yap, Vice Governor Carlito David and provincial board members. "As long as there is no election, there is hope. The way I preach, the way I tell people not to give up, not to lose hope."

Earlier in Tabuk City, Kalinga province, Moreno told reporters he is still hopeful that he will get President Duterte’s endorsement for his presidential bid.
