Manila Mayor Isko Moreno is now planning to rebrand Manila Zoo as part of his priorities on his first term as the city mayor of the country’s capital.
Moreno appealed to individuals to help them redesign the once famous zoo.
“Naawa na po ako sa mga hayop doon. Eh kung ‘yung mga napa-plunder nakakapiyansa, nakakalabas silang pansamantala, ‘yung hayop namin doon, 40, 50 years na. Parang ang sakit naman noon kung kayo ang malagay sa katayuan noon,” he said.
Moreno, however, insisted that the zoo would not be privatized and sold.
The zoo has been ordered shut following the Environment Department’s decision that Manila Zoo is one of the major pollutants of Manila Bay.
