Domagoso assured his constituents that the Manila city government will continue its operations devoted to Covid-19, including administration of vaccines.

“Kapit lang. Tuloy ang buhay. Tuloy pa rin ang gobyerno sa Maynila. Umasa tayo, magtiwala tayo sa Diyos, makararaos din tayo (Hold on. Life will go on. The Manila city government will continue operatating. Let us be hop and trust in God. We will get past this),” he said.

The Manila PIO said Domagoso will continue his duties as city mayor even from the hospital.
