Remember the dancing fountain Mayor Isko showed ANCX last December in front of Manila’s Kartilya ng Katipunan? The one he said cost 40 million pesos? The one he said was paid for by tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan? Well, it’s up and dancing now and the mayor just officially launched it to the public Wednesday night.

"This is not for us, this is for the people. It's for you. You deserve it," says Mayor Domagoso.

It’s the Mayor’s effort to revive the vibrancy of Manila and a call to everyone to come and visit the city that was once the center of culture and everything that’s happening in the country. “Malugod namin kayong iniimbitahan, inaanyayahan kayo ng city government, go back to Manila,” he said. “Come home to Manila.”
