Who is the youngest vice governor of iloilo Philippines?

Answer 1

As of October 13 2008, the youngest Vice Governor of Iloilo Province, Philippines, is The Son of Former Bureau of Customs Regional Director Atty. Gil B. Armada Sr. and Thelma Solinap-Buenaflor of dumangas, Roberto "Obet" Buenaflor ARMADA of Janiuay. At an early age of 36 he was officially proclaimed as the Legislative Head of the Local Government for the Province of Iloilo last May 2001 elections, defeating vice-gubernatorial rivals Undefeated Leganes Strongman Adolf "adop Jaen", and Board Memeber Araneta from the Fourth district of the Iloilo Province. "Obet" as people fundly call him, was serving his second term as vice-mayor of his hometown, JANIUAY (which is also a municipal history as he was the first and the only reelected vice-mayor of the said town up to date) prior to 2001 elections. An achiever in his own rights, Roberto Armada, during his second term as janiuay vice mayor, also served at the same time as Executive Vice President for the Vice Mayor's League of the Philippines (VMLP), and later became the President of VMLP as the then VMLP President, Famous Actor and Makati City Vice Mayor Edu Manzano stepped down from his VMLP Presidency in preparation for the impending electoral battle against Mayor Binay of Makati approaching 2001 elections. Former Vice Governor ARMADA was unquestionably reelected in the May 2004 elections and devastated his rival, then Board Memeber and also former Lambunao mayor Bugok Ramirez, of more than 20,000 votes despite his Teammate Reelected Governor Niel Tupas won over former Congressman and acclaimed Political Kingpin of the south Oscar "Oca" Garin for an overwhelming 90,000 plus votes. Only goes to show that track record and "clean name" willl always be a factor in winning the heart of the voters. Prior to the most recent MAY 2007 elections, following the political-ridden incident which alarmed the nation, tagged as the Iloilo-capitol sieged, Obet was inevitably pitted against the incumbent Governor Niel Tupas as to which many considered as Party-loyalty decision of the good vice governor, was defeated fair and square. The province's 2nd man exited the local political arena for a 3 year private life with dignity, humbleness and self-respect only to be chosen, In the name of quality servitude, unity and political healing , as rightful running mate of no less than the son of Gov. Tupas, Mayor Raul "boboy" Tupas. Yet again, good name and unblemished record proved to be Obet's silver linning. A pride of Janiuay. Surely, Obet will always be remembered as the young, competent and Intelligent Vice Governor of Iloilo who served as an inspiration for the young dreamers of his time. -- SANJAY ARMADA--Iloilo Philippines
