Jennifer Barzaga, mother of former Representative Francisco “Kiko” Barzaga, is projected to win the special election for Cavite’s 4th congressional district. Her victory effectively extends the Barzaga family’s political dominance in the region. Opponent Raul Rex Rosario Mangubat conceded defeat on Saturday night, signaling a clear outcome. The special election was called following the expulsion of Kiko Barzaga, creating the vacancy. This win ensures the Barzaga family retains a seat in the Philippine Congress. Observers suggest the result highlights the enduring power of political dynasties in the Philippines. The outcome underscores the challenges to breaking established familial control within the country’s political landscape.
