Actor Anjo Yllana will be eyeing a third local post in as many localities.
A former councilor and vice-mayor in Parañaque City before becoming a two-term councilor in Quezon City, the actor-politician filed his Certificate Of Candidacy (COC) Monday morning at the region’s Commission on Elections (Comelec) office at the Capitol Complex.
Yllana, 51, will be gunning for the congressional seat of Camarines Sur’s 4th district currently held by Rep. Arnie Fuentebella. Based on his updated Facebook account, Yllana is said to be a resident of Tinambac, Camarines Sur.
Yllana served as councilor in Parañaque City’s 2nd district from 1998 to 2004 then became the city’s vice-mayor from 2004-2007.
The veteran comedian then became a two-term councilor in Quezon City’s 5th district from 2013 to 2019.
Yllana will be up against a formidable politician in Fuentebella who is a three-time mayor of the municipality of Tigaon, Camarines Sur (2007-20016) before winning his current congressional seat in 2019.
“Ako kasi when I run, ang number one is kung ano yung sinasabi ng tao sa akin. Kapag gusto nila ako tumakbo, mayroon silang problema na hindi naa-address ng present nan aka-posisyon, dyan ko kino-consider yung desisyon ko to run,” Yllana told Radyo Bicolandia’s Gelo Abugao.
