Murcia Mayor Gerry Rojas, with his complete slate, headed by Vice Mayor Johnny Reosura and eight candidates for sangguniang bayan members, filed before Murcia Election Officer Clarissa Binobo his certificate of candidacy for his reelection under local party “Paspas Asenso Murcia” yesterday.
“I am officially running for my third and last term as chief executive of Murcia. Today I am very thankful for your support, and I pray that God will bless us with the opportunity to continue to be of service to the people of Murcia in the next three years,” said Rojas.
“You have witnessed the vast improvement in public services and the numerous big impact infrastructure projects here in Murcia during my first two terms as mayor. All I aspire is to complete my three terms, so that I can finish everything that I have dreamed of for our beloved town, and I can implement more legacy projects which can benefit Murciahanons until the next generations,” he added.
“This group of candidates are composed of tested and proven veteran public servants, as well as young, talented and very promising aspirants. We have achieved all the projects that we can deliver for Murciahanons when we all stand as one. All the SB members and I, as your vice mayor, are solidly behind Mayor Gerry Rojas. Let us continue to be united for the good of all the Murciahanons,” said Reosura.
Lending his support and demonstrating his unity with the entire “Paspas Asenso Murcia” slate was former three-termer Murcia mayor and incumbent Third District Provincial Board Member Andrew Montelibano, who is also seeking this third term at the Capitol.
The incumbent sangguniang bayan members who are seeking their re-election are third-termer Kedy Yu, Anton Gonzaga, and Pidong Villarosa, while aspiring for their second term are Philip Belleza and Hernan Alintana.
Completing the “Paspas Asenso Murcia” slate are Joey Gomez, a replacement for his father, graduating SB Member Bebot Gomez; businessman Francoise Ginson, who wants to use his business skills and connections for the benefit of his fellow Muricahanons; and SB JR Gravino, who replaced his deceased elder sister SB Tata Gravino, and is now running for what is considered as his first term.*
