In his last term, Francis Zamora seeks to fulfill his promise of a 'new San Juan' and leave a legacy anchored on new infrastructure

MANILA, Philippines – Incumbent mayor Francis Zamora won his third and last term as San Juan mayor on Monday, May 12.

Zamora won 51,242 votes based on partial, unofficial results as of 12:01 am on Tuesday, May 13, sourced from the Comelec Media Server. He defeated former San Juan vice mayor Philip Dudley Cezar.

The mayor’s campaign for his third term focused on his promise of a “new San Juan.” Among the infrastructure he seeks to complete in his final term are the sports center, local government center, animal care center, plaza, and commercial area.

“Ang mga proyektong ito ay ang aking iiwang legasiya sa inyo na mapapakinabangan ng ating mga mamamayan at ng susunod na henerasyon,“ Zamora said of the projects.

(These projects will be the legacy I will leave behind, to be used by residents and the next generation.)

In 2019, Zamora ended the 50-year rule of the Ejercito-Estrada clan over the city when he won his first term. Before he was elected mayor, Zamora served as vice mayor from 2010 to 2016.

Zamora is currently president of the Metro Manila council. – Rappler.com
