CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The Tarlac provincial board of canvassers has proclaimed Enrique Cojuangco Sr. and his son Enrique Cojuangco Jr. as the duly elected first district representative and vice governor of Tarlac, respectively.
Both were unopposed in the last polls.
After the proclamation Tuesday night, the board adjourned pending the transmission of election results from remaining municipalities.
