Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial candidate Benhur Abalos has gained the 100 percent support of Angeles City in Pampanga after all 33 barangay captains there declared they were endorsing him.

This was announced by Angeles City Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. during Abalos' recent campaign sortie there.

In response, Abalos expressed his deep gratitude to Lazatin and the barangay captains. He vowed to honor their trust through genuine and effective service should he be elected to the Senate in the mid-term polls this coming May 12.

Earlier, Abalos received endorsements from notable leaders and organizations, including former Senate President Franklin Drilon, the Liga ng Barangay sa Pilipinas, the Philippine Councilor’s League, the Vice Mayors’ League, and several (LGUs)

As former Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) secretary, Abalos oversaw all LGUs across the nation.

During his tenure, the Philippine National Police (PNP)--which he also supersived--recorded a significant achievement by confiscating P33.8 billion worth of illegal drugs within the first two years of the Marcos administration. This marked the highest confiscation under any administration.

Abalos also led initiatives aimed at rehabilitating persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) through skills training programs in collaboration with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

He led the arrest of high-profile personalities such as Apollo Quiboloy, Alice Guo, and child trafficker Teddy Jay Mejia.

Furthermore, he facilitated the successful integration of 396 former combatants from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) as official members of the PNP, advancing efforts toward lasting peace and national unity.

Abalos also prioritized improving public safety by modernizing the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), ensuring all cities and municipalities were equipped with functional fire trucks and stations.
