A significant political switch is underway in Pampanga as Vice Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda officially filed her Certificate of Candidacy for governor, while incumbent Governor Dennis Pineda has announced his intention to run for vice governor. The Pinedas will campaign under the local party Kambilan, aiming to maintain their political influence in the province.
In a show of support, Lilia was accompanied by various mayors from Pampanga, local leaders, and family members during the filing of her candidacy. This strategic move sets the stage for a competitive election as they prepare to face off against challengers Engr. Danilo Baylon and former Governor Ed Panlilio.
The Pinedas have been key figures in Pampanga politics, and this shift reflects their adaptability in a changing political landscape. Lilia’s candidacy for governor highlights her commitment to continuing her public service, while Dennis’s transition to vice governor demonstrates a desire to maintain stability within the provincial leadership. As the election season heats up, the Pinedas are focused on their vision for the province and their plans to address the needs of their constituents in the upcoming election.
