TIAONG, Quezon – Six of the 12 administration senatorial candidates under Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas hold a political rally at Tiaong Convention Center on Friday, May 2, this town.
Representative David “Jayjay” Suarez of the Quezon 2nd District, Tiaong Mayor Vincent Arjay Mea, and Alona Partylist hosted the campaign rally, and about six thousand people, including local candidates and supporters.
Senatorial candidates were Lito Lapid, Benhur Abalos, Abby Binay, Francis Tolentino, Pia Cayetano, and Bong Revilla. They expressed their priority bills and programs once in the Senate.
Lapid, Senate chairman on tourism, pledges to support the tourism program of Tiaong and the whole country, and he is also focusing other programs especially on job opportunities, education and health for Filipinos.
He said that the local government unit is closed to him because he holds an LGU position such as a three-term governor, and one term as vice- governor in Pampanga.
Lapid assured the full support of the LGU’s projects because he knew the ups and downs of the local government.
Out of 900 bills he filed, 100 became laws, including the Lapid Law or the Free Legal Assistance Act.
Lapid was popularly known as Leon Guerrero in his previous movies and “Supremo” in his recent TV series Batang Quiapo with Coco Martin, and consistently in the top five on the latest survey conducted by SWS and Octa Research.
