By Antonio Colina DAVAO CITY - Newly elected representatives and councilors of Davao City’s 2nd and 3rd Districts on Tuesday afternoon have been proclaimed but proclamation of the winning candidates of the 3rd District has been delayed when clustered precincts from three schools had failed to transmit election returns. Atty. Krisna Samantha Caballero, Davao City Election Officer and chairman of the Board of Canvassers (BOC), told reporters after the proclamation of the new elected candidates that they have yet to find out the cause for the “very short delay” at Davao City National High School, Don Cesario Villa Abrille Elementary School, and Bolton Elementary School. “That’s why, hindi ko pa alam, tinatanong ko pa kaya (I do not know, I’m still asking) I cannot talk about it right now kung may problema din ba sa transmission or hindi lang napasok (if there was a problem in the transmission or it was not included),” she said. Caballero headed the proclamation at the session hall of the Sangguniang Panlungsod attended by winning candidates, comprising veterans and newbies, and their families and supporters. Comebacking Representative Vincent J. Garcia of the 1st Congressional District of the city was proclaimed at 3:48 p.m. Garcia, who was unopposed under the Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) and garnered 174,389 votes, is set to replace his sister incumbent Representative Mylene Garcia-Albano, now on her third and last term. Garcia served as representative for three full terms from 2001 until 2010. Another comebacking Representative Isidro Ungab of the city’s 3rd Congressional District, who served for three full terms from 2007 until 2016, had also been proclaimed. Ungab also ran under the HNP and garnered 160,732 votes. The veteran lawmaker is set to serve another fresh three terms, replacing his brother incumbent 3rd District Representative Alberto T. Ungab, who took over after serving his third and last term in 2016. Ungab previously chaired Committee on Ways and Means in the 15th Congress and Committee on Appropriations, dubbed as the most powerful committee in the Lower House, during the 16th Congress. The younger Ungab was also elected as councilor of the city’s 3rd District. For 2nd District councilors, re-electionist Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang garnered 123,621 votes, the highest among the 22 candidates; re-electionist Councilor Diosdado Mahipus, 121,201; comebacking Louie John Bonguyan, 120,049; Ralph Abella, 106,833; Augusto Javie G.
