Mayor Andeng sumumpa na sa mga nasasakupan!

Maliban kay newly-re-elected Senator Bong Revilla, wala kaming namataang showbiz personality, Salve A., sa katatapos na oathtaking nang ngayo’y officially lady Mayor na ng Antipolo City na si Andeng Bautista Ynares.

Maliban din sa akin, isa lang din na entertainment writer ang namataan ko, si Francis Simeon. Si Chit Ramos naman, personal publicist ng mga Revilla for years, was represented by her son, Mac Dumalagan.

The event was held sa plush Ynares Event Center in Antipolo, which is owned by the well-known Ynares ng Rizal Provinces.

Mayor Andeng, of course is the better half ng former Antipolo Mayor na si Jun Jun Ynares, a doctor by profession before his decision to turn politician.

Former Mayor Jun Jun’s Mom, Rebecca ‘Nini’ Ynares, who was present at Mayor Andeng’s oathtaking, is Rizal’s incumbent governor. Sa kanya sumumpa bilang mayor ng Antipolo si Andeng at ang ibang bagong opisyales ng Antipolo City.

All the Ynares was seated in one table. Kasama na ang father in-law ni Andeng na si former Governor din ng Rizal, Ito Ynarez at kapatid ni Mayor Andeng na si Rowena Mendiola, re-elected Konsehal ng Bacoor, Cavite, who came with sister, Princess and brother Marlon Bautista, Secretary General ng Partlylist, headed by Mikee Romero na na-elect na Representative.

Representative Mikee is a stepson of the late actor Eddie Garcia, his mom is Lilibeth Romero, na naging partner ni Eddie for 33 years.

Of Marlon, he came with wife, former actress Gigi dela Riva and a daughter at the said oathtaking event ni Mayor Andeng. Well almost mga fellow politician niya sa Antipolo ang dumalo. Kasama ang kanilang pamilya.

It is said that the number of votes na nakuha ni Mayor Andeng sa last election, was so tremendous, many times over daw ng mga bagong napanalunan ng mga former elected mayor ng mga siyudad. Kabilang na of course, si Mayor Jun Jun.

Ganunpaman, ayon sana kay Mayor Andeng, hindi puwedeng tawaran ang accomplishment ni Mayor Jun Jun as head of the City. May dalawang bagong hospital ang siyudad, bukod pa sa bagong schools.

At ang linis ng kapaligiran ng lugar.

“Kaya tulad ni Mayor Jun Jun,” ani Mayor Andeng. “I need too, the cooperation of the netizens ng Antipolo City.

“Magiging effective leader lang ako, If I have good followers.

“Well, may the Virgin of Antipolo guide us always.

Of Senator Bong Revilla he is not yet, he said at liberty, to deserve kung anuman ang planong mayroon siya bilang newly re-elected Senator.

“Ang pangako ko lang, I will not fail the expectations ng mga bumoto sa akin,” aniya with sincerity.

“At ng kahit hindi bumoto sa akin,” susog pa niya.

Chiz pinaghandaan ang Sorsogon

Sayang at di na magkakaroon ng pagkakataon si Eddie Garcia na masaksihan sana ang pag-upo ni ongoing Senator Chiz Escudero bilang Governor ng Sorsogon.

Sorsogueño rin si Eddie and he has always been vocal sa pagmamahal niya sa kanyang bayang sinilangan. Bagama’t in an interview, Eddie said, wala sa bucket list niya ang tumakbo for anumang political position sa Sorsogon.

Governor Chiz’s parents, Salvador and Evelina, were both kilalang politician.

Of now Sorsogon Governor Chiz, he obviously prepared himself for a political career.

He took up B.A. Political Science sa University of the Philippines.

It was in UP Diliman too, that he took up law.

He was already a lawyer when he studies sa Georgetown University abroad.

Few may still remember that when the late King of Philippine Movies Fernando Poe, Jr., run for President in the 2004 elections, Governor Chiz served as his spokesperson.
