Buboy Fernandez also lost in the vice mayoralty race
BUBOY FERNANDEZ- The trainer of presidential candidate Manny Pacquiao has been defeated in the vice mayoralty race.
Fernandez ran for vice mayor in Polangui, Albay, hoping to secure the said position for the second time around.
However, he failed to covet the spot after losing to Chery Mella-Sampal who received 17,106 votes followed by Winels Buendia who earned 15,877 votes.
