NANALO NA! Nong Nong Bautista, wagi matapos ang ikatlo niyang pagtakbo sa pagka-konsehal

Nong Nong Bautista of San Ildefonso finally won the election after two previous attempts in 2019 and 2022 to become a Sangguniang Bayan member.

On May 13, 2025, Bautista was proclaimed as councilor-elect after he got the most votes among the candidates for councilor in their municipality.

Bautista got 55,657 votes in this year’s election, and many people attributed his victory to his catchy jingle based on the Squid Game Season 2 soundtrack.

In his Facebook post, Bautista admitted that this year’s campaign was challenging, but he was glad his hard work finally paid off.

Bautista also vowed that, unlike him, he would not let the people asking for help plead to him.

“Hindi naging madali ang laban, ngunit dahil sa inyo, naging posible ang lahat. Sa bawat ngiting aking nakita, sa bawat palakpak at hikayat, ramdam ko ang pagmamahal niyo—pagmamahal na handang makiisa para sa mas maunlad na kinabukasan,” said Bautista.

“Ngayon ay panibagong yugto ang ating haharapin. Hindi ninyo po kailangan magmakaawa sa serbisyong tapat at totoo. Ako lang po ang may karapantang magmakaawa sa inyo. Buong puso ko pong iniaalay ang aking serbisyo sa inyo,” he added.
