Delfinado filed her Certificate of Candidacy (COC) for representative of the 4th District as member of the Nationalist People’s Coalition with her son Leo Carlo Delfinado who is running for Board Member of the 4th District under the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas before the Commission on Elections at the Social Hall of the Capitol on Saturday, Oct. 5.
She said her 37 years of service in the Department of Public Works and Highways and the DHSUD has given her the experience to bring progress and development of the 4th District.
On her retirement she saw that there are still a lot of things that need to be done to improve the 4th District that made her decide to run of representative of the district, Delfinado said.
