Since July 1, 2019, Francisco m. Domagoso, also known as "Isko Moreno" and Yorme Isko, has served as the 27th Mayor of Manila. His victory to the mayorship of Manila came after a historic election in which he defeated an incumbent Mayor — a former Philippine President – on the promise of generational and transformative change for the 449-year-old Philippine capital.

Mayor Domagoso served in Manila's City Council representing the ancient, largely populated, and economically disadvantaged urbanised district of Tondo prior to becoming mayor. In 1998, he was elected to his first term on the Manila City Council.

The Manila mayor completed post-graduate studies at Harvard University's Executive Education Program, Oxford University's Strategic Leadership Program, Arellano University's Bachelor of Laws, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila's Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila's Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila's Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Mayn (UP).

In 1998, he ran for and won a position on the Manila City Council, representing Manila's first district, and was reelected in 2001 and 2004. He was elected deputy mayor of Manila for the first time in 2007.

Former Philippine President Joseph Estrada was elected as the 26th Mayor of Manila in a contentious election in 2013. Domagoso campaigned for the Philippine Senate in 2016, narrowly missing out on a seat in the legislative upper chamber. Domagoso was named Chairman of the Board of the then-North Luzon Railways Corporation in 2017. In 2018, he was appointed as the Department of Social Welfare's Undersecretary for Luzon Affairs.

Domagoso defeated candidate Joseph Estrada for mayor of Manila on May 13, 2019, with a landslide victory of about 150,000 votes. On the following day, May 14, 2019, the City Board of Canvassers declared Domagoso the winner. On the evening of May 13, Joseph Estrada acknowledged defeat as well
