LMP chief eyes congress seat

BANGUED, ABRA — League of Mayors of the Philippines (LMP) national president Joseph Sto. Niño “JB” B. Bernos is seeking his return in his home province — Abra — as a lawmaker.

Filing his candidacy on Sunday under the Lakas Christian and Muslim Democrats (Lakas CMD), Mayor Bernos has teamed up with former Abra Governor Eustaquio Bersamin, who is running for the gubernatorial post under Partido Federal ng Pilipinas.

“I have much of unfinished commitments with the people of Abra (in the House of Representatives),” the LMP National president said.

Incumbent Abra Rep. Ching B. Bernos is the first nominee of the party list group Solid North, which filed its bid in the 2025 party list elections Thursday last week.

“With our tandem, in no time, Abra will become the most improved province in the Cordillera and the whole Northern Luzon.” Mr. Bersamin said. — Artemio A. Dumlao
