Scions of Pangasinan’s political dynasties may sport cutesy nicknames more suited to boy band members but they represent some of the country’s toughest political brawlers. PHVote WeDecide In-depth piece by Ahikam Pasion and Inday Espina-Varona:
In 2019, Raul’s wife Marilyn defeated then-incumbent mayor Bona Parayno in her hometown of Mangaldan to establish a political foothold.
After completing three terms as representative, Art in 2013 succeeded Hernani Braganza as mayor of Alaminos City. He held that post until 2019, when he made a disastrous attempt to take down Governor Pogi. His brother Jesus , who succeeded Art as representative from 2013 to 2019, will try to take Sual town, one of the Philippines’ richest municipalities, from Espino ally Mayor Liseldo “Dong” Calugay.
The Resuello family suffered a tragedy when San Carlos City Mayor Julian “Jolly” Resuello, then running for vice mayor after completing three terms, was shot dead on April 28, 2007. Since then, the number of their kin in elective posts has grown, their network expanding to adjacent Basista town. Mayor Ayoy and Vice Mayor Bogs are reelectionists. Another half-brother, councilor Joshua, is also running for another term.
Former Bugallon mayor Rodrigo Orduña accused Ama in 2012 of involvement in the illegal numbers game jueteng and amassing more than P900 million that year alone in protection money.
