to take a second look at Manila and eventually invest more in the city.

country's tycoons to invest in the old business district of Escolta and to
provide jobs and help curb crime.

Over the weekend the young
mayor had dinner with SM Investments Corp's vice chairman Teresita Sy-Coson,
Ayala Corp chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala and Alliance Global
CEO Kevin Tan, who posted photos of the meeting on his Instagram the day after.
"I’m grateful kasi ang hiningi ko
sa kanila bumalik, mag invest sa Manila (I'm grateful because I asked them to
return, invest in Manila)... that I requested them to focus their vision to a
particular geography which is Escolta and told them that in the earlier times
Escolta is the business center in the country," Moreno said.
In all the meetings he asked that
Manila residents be given the chance to be hired, in pursuit of his project of
creation of jobs for the residents of Manila.
"‘Yan ang aking personal request,
kung magtatayo ng branch, kung magtatayo ng franchise, magtatayo ng
development, ang pakiusap ko at the very least, 70 percent ng i-hire nilang
empleyado ay taga lungsod ng Maynila. I was asked why, because what I believe
personally, this is one way of reducing criminality in the city of
Manila," the Mayor said.
Moreno, in the first weeks of his
office kept himself busy by cleaning the streets of Manila namely Quiapo,
Blumentritt, Divisoria,Recto to name a few, cleaned Liwasang Bonifacio, met
with different envoys, and made signed some significant ordinances for the
residents of Manila like, franchises should be open to hire senior citizens,
monthly stipend for undergraduate students from its two local
university/college.
