Congressman-elect Francis "Kiko" Barzaga of Dasmariñas City, Cavite could not help but feel "pity" for the candidates that he defeated during the May 12 mid-term elections.

In a Facebook post on Friday afternoon, May 30, Barzaga--who appears to be overly fond of cats--noted that his election rivals used up a lot of resources and effort only to lose to him.

"Nakakaawa rin talaga yung mga ibang tumakbong congressman dito sa Dasma (The other candidates for congressman here in Dasma are really pitiful)," the 26-year-old wrote.

"Isipin mo, gumastos ka ng milyon milyon, ilang buwan ka nangampanya, ang dami mong mga plataporma at plano, tapos talo ka pa rin kay meow meow posa (Think about it, you spent millions, you campaigned for months, you drew up a lot of platforms and plans only to lose to meow meow posa)," Barzaga said.

Barzaga used the hashtag #congmeow during the campaign period. His social media is replete with him interacting with--and at times behaving like--a cat.

He bested three other candidates for the House seat during the polls. He beat his closest rival by over 15,000 votes.
