|
Local elections will held in the Province of Cavite on May 9, 2016 as part of the 2016 general election.Voters will select candidates for all local positions: a town mayor, vice mayor and town councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the vice-governor, governor and representatives for the seven districts of Cavite. Originally, incumbent Governor Jonvic Remulla was set running for his final term under Partido Magdalo and supported by the Estrada-Binay-led (and Aquino's administration opposition party) United Nationalist Alliance along with Vice-Governor Jolo Revilla, however, he later dropped out and was replaced by Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla, who will run solo instead.
Background
Their rivals, who belong to the Liberal Party, will not be fielding a candidate for the gubernatorial post. The party's 2013 standard-bearer Ayong Maliksi is said to be no longer running as he would instead concentrate on being the chairperson of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. It initially offered 7th District Representative Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino the party's gubernatorial slot, but talks stopped when the incumbent (Remulla) talked to Maliksi, who in turn promised his former vice governor that his party will not field a candidate for the governorship, thus making Remulla virtually unopposed for his third and final term (his opponent is perennial Cavite candidate Gerbie Berado). Tolentino will instead run for re-election for his district seat.
However, LP considered who among 5th District (CarSiGMA) Representative Roy Loyola or 6th District Representative Luis "Jonjon" Ferrer IV as their vice gubernatorial bet upon consultation, opposing the younger Revilla. 4th District (Dasmariñas City) Representative Elpidio Barzaga's name was under consideration for the vice governorship, but instead filed his candidacy for city mayor, where he will switch positions with his wife, Jennifer Austria-Barzaga, Pidi will oppose by a 23 year old Jigz Padillo which support Sen. Grace Poe.
In the end, LP will instead field 7th district board member Irene De Padua-Bencito as its vice gubernatorial candidate. She will be supported by some of Cavite's political clans, among others, the Maliksis, Barzagas and Loyolas.
On December 9, 2015, Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla said he will withdrawing his candidacy for re-election to pursue post graduate studies. His brother, Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla will substitute for him.[1] Sources also say that Boying Remulla will not support the vice gubernatorial bid of Jolo Revilla and will instead go solo.
