Francisco Domagoso is the current vice mayor of Manila, Philippines, and a former three-term councilor of the city's first congressional district.

Domagoso is the only child of Joaquin Domagoso (a stevedore at Manila's North Harbor) and Rosario Moreno (from Allen, Northern Samar).[2] He found alternative sources of income at the age of 10 by pushing a cart and going house-to-house to gather old newspapers and used bottles, then reselling them at a local junk dealer.[3] He also rummaged through restaurant garbage bins for leftover food, which his mother would recook for dinner.[1]
Domagoso caught the attention of talent scout Wowie Roxas in 1993 while attending a funeral in Tondo and was then persuaded to join show business.[4][2] He was part of That's Entertainment, a daily variety show featuring German Moreno's stable of aspiring teenage actors, under the screen name Isko Moreno.[1] His major break came in 1993 when he was cast in a cameo role in the romantic movie May Minamahal and became a leading man to Claudine Barretto in Muntik na Kitang Minahal a year later.[4]
He appeared in Siya'y Nagdadalaga, and has appeared in movies such as Exploitation, Mga Babae sa Isla Azul and Misteryosa .[5]
In 2005, during his third term as a councilor of Manila, he returned to acting as a kind-hearted priest in the television drama series Mga Anghel na Walang Langit .[4] He also had a brief appearance in 2007 in the television drama series Bakekang.[5] The following year, Moreno had a supporting role in the afternoon soap opera Ligaw na Bulaklak.
Domagoso served three consecutive terms (nine years) as a councilor for Manila's first congressional district. He took a crash course in Local Legislation and Local Finance at University of the Philippines.[2] He then studied public administration in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (University of the City of Manila) while fulfilling his alderman duties.[1]
During his election campaign, he criticised what he called a "black propaganda" by opponents, but did not pursue any charges.[6] Domagoso eventually won the elections, beating the closest rival by about 80,000 votes.[2]
Domagoso also serves as vice chairman of the Manila Historical and Heritage Commission and studies as a law student in Arellano University.[7][2]
He is married to Diana Lynn Ditan. They have four children, Vincent Patrick (born 1998), Frances Diane (born 2001), Joaquin Andre (born 2002) and Franco (born 2006).[2]
