By Danny  Estacio   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.

By Danny Estacio   GENERAL LUNA, Quezon – Quezon Third District also known as Bondoc Peninsula congressional bet and this town Mayor Erwin Matt Florido that his priority bill once he won this 2025 elections is to file a bill that would prohibit the use of tarpaulins and plastic banners as campaign materials by candidates, said during his campaign sorties. Florido said that apart from harming the environment, it is also unfair to all candidates. He added that in the present electoral system, wealthy candidates benefit because they can spread thousands of tarpaulins, often exceeding the campaign spending limits, and often falsifying their Statement of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE). He said that while candidates who are short of funds almost do not see any campaign materials on the streets. Because of this, the system becomes biased in favor of the wealthy. Florido said, “Instead of tarpaulins and plastic banners, a series of debates should be made mandatory for local and national candidates.” The candidates’ forum is where the true capabilities and platforms of each candidate can be seen, and the number of tarpaulins is not the basis for people’s votes. Using plastic campaign materials and the impact of this waste on our environment should not be ignored either—several tons of plastic waste are accumulated every election. Florido urges “we must change the way we campaign: make the distribution of flyers and leaflets, the use of online platforms, and attending debates and forums the main methods. This way, all candidates—rich or poor—will have an equal fight, and our environment will also benefit.”

 By Danny Estacio   CATANAUAN, Quezon- The people of Bondoc Peninsula district were disappointed after some district candidates failed to show up at the Candidates’ forum organized by the Gumaca Diocese on Sunday evening, April 6, at Enverga University gymnasium, here. Only this district will have candidates running for the position in the House of Representatives between re-electionist Rep. Reynante Arrogancia and Gen. Luna Mayor Matt Erwin Florido, but only Florido attended the forum. Organizers aimed to let the voters know the platforms of candidates, whether for the provincial boards that represent the district, and most importantly position for the House of Representatives. Arrogancia failed to attend, and the voters were deprived of knowledge about his development programs in the economic, infrastructure, social services, education, health, and livelihood that will uplift the living of the Bondoc Peninsula. Political observers said the battle between Arrogancia and Florido is just like David and Goliath. On the part of Florido, his presence on the forum is to prove that he is ready to face the issue and let the people know his platform, especially on poverty. The province’s first district Representative Mark Enverga, second district Rep. David Jayjay Suarez, and fourth district Rep. Mike Tan are unopposed for the 2025 national and local elections come May 12.
