INCUMBENT Porac councilor Olga Frances “Fritzie” David Dizon on Wednesday, October 17,filed her certificate of candidacy for second district board member at the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Provincial Office.

David-Dizon, who is running under the Kapanalig at Kambilan ning Memalen Pampanga (Kambilan) of Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda, said that she was confident of the party’s support for her candidacy in the 2019 polls.

David-Dizon said that she would like to help achieve the executive agenda of gubernatorial aspirant Dennis Pineda.

“The service programs and legacy initiatives of Nanay must continue. I believe that I could be of help in ensuring that the district would be represented in the next era of governance,” David-Dizon said.

David-Dizon was joined during her filing by dozens of supporters from Porac town as well the entire mayoralty slate of her brother Dexter Albert David who is running for Porac mayor.

David-Dizon currently holds an ex-officio seat at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and is incumbent president of the Philippine Councilors' League (PCL) Pampanga Chapter.

She is the sister of Porac Vice-Mayor Dexter David and daughter of the late Porac mayor Roy David and former Pampanga acting governor Edna De Ausen-David.

She was appointed board member after her mother died on November 9, 2010 but did not run for an elective position in 2013 to focus on her family.

She later entered town politics as municipal councilor in 2016.

David-Dizon will run for board member in Pampanga’s second district which covers the towns of Floridablanca, Lubao, Porac, Santa Rita, Guagua and Sasmuan.
