Zialcita gets nod as Parañaque congressman

Rep. Eduardo Zialcita (Lakas) won a fresh mandate as representative of Parañaque City’s first congressional district as he garnered nearly 10,000 votes more than his closest rival.

Final official tally from the Commission on Elections (Comelec) showed Zialcita beating rivals Tomas Banaga, Jaime Nery and others in all barangays comprising Parañaque’s old district.

Meanwhile, former national security adviser Roilo Golez clinched the congressional seat in the city’s newly-created second district after three-term mayor Joey Marquez conceded a day after the polls closed.

Both Zialcita and Golez have been officially proclaimed winners by the Comelec.
