CABANATUANCITY– Six former military and police officials and an Air Force reservist are in the race for key local government posts in Nueva Ecija.

Virgilio Fabros, Antonio Tanchoco and Tomas Hizon, retired Rear Admiral
Abraham Abesamis, retired police Senior Insp. Rodolfo Rivera and reservist Col.

Hizon, younger brother of National Printing Office Director, retired police general
Servando Hizon, is up against the Bagong Lakas ng Nueva Ecija’s Mariano
Criostino Joson, a fomer mayor of Quezon and former vice governor of Nueva
Ecija while Padilla who got the highest rank among fellow former security officials in this election is running against incumbent Bongabon Mayor Amelia Gamilla, one of the most bankable officials of Balane.
Gamilla’s husband also served as mayor of that town for several terms before his death.
In Cabanatuan City, Rivera of the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan is virtually unheard of in the five-cornered fight where the front-runners are cousins Jay Vergara (71%), a former three-term mayor, and reelectionist Mayor Alvin Vergara (21%). In Palayan City,
reelectionist Mayor Romeo Capinpin posted a commanding lead of 74-23 in surveys over
Reynaldo Garcia, a reserved Air Force colonel.
