QUEZON City First District Representative Arjo Atayde is seeking a reelection bid and filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) on October 1, Tuesday.
Atayde was accompanied by Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte in filing his COC in Amoranto Sports Complex in Quezon City. Veteran actress Sylvia Sanchez, Atayde’s mother, was also present.
In an interview, the lawmaker said that he would continue the projects against flooding and other programs to uplift the lives of the Filipino people.
“Bibigyang solusyon ang bahaing problema ng Distrito Uno at iaangat ang antas ng buhay ng mga Pilipino [dahil patuloy po tayong gagawa ng mga batas sa Kamara], pagbababa ng presyo at iba pa pong concerns, sa mga pabahay,” Atayde told reporters.
Previously, the legislator-actor urged the national government to fund QC flood control projects following the heavy flooding in the city after several typhoons hit the country.
“Hindi naman makaturungan na i-expect na taon-taon magtitiis sila kung kaya naman natin tugunan ang problema na ito,” he earlier said.
Moreover, Atayde, the creative industries vice chairperson, will continue to champion the welfare of those individuals in the movie and creative industry.
This would be the second term of Atayde. He won in the 2022 elections as the QC’s first district representative.
