The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has released the official list of Quezon City local candidates for the coming 2016 general elections.
After backing out to be included in the Liberal Party’s senatorial slate, Quezon City Mayor Herbert “Bistek” Bautista filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) in October last year at the Commission on Election’s (Comelec’s) office in Quezon City. He is seeking reelection.
His running mate is Vice Mayor Josefina “Joy” Belmonte, who accompanied Bautista in filing his COC.
This is Bautista’s third consecutive and last term as Quezon City mayor, should he win the election.
He will be facing off two rival candidates, namely, Martin Sanchez and the Philippine Green Republican Party’s Alexander Lague.
There are five candidates vying for the vice mayor’s post, including Belmonte.
Except for first and fourth districts, current congressmen are running unopposed.
