Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña formally announced today that he will be seeking a reelection with Councilor Mary Ann Delos Santos as his running mate.

These are former councilors such as Leah Japson, Nestor Archival and Alvin Dizon from Cebu City’ north district; Roberto Cabarrubias and Raul Alcoseba from the south district; and Rengelle Pelayo, who used to be Sangguniang Kabataan Federation president.

New faces will also be joining the administration group. They area barangay captains Michael Gacasan (Guadalupe), lawyer Kirk Bryan Repollo (Inayawan); lawyer Amay Abella, who is now head of the city’s Human Resource and Development officer; and Dr. Marlo Maamo, head of the city’s Long Life Program.

Osmena gathered party mates and supporters for an early morning send-off mass held at the Lahug Elementary School gym before he formally announced members of his slate.

Lahug is Delos Santos’ turf.

BOPK candidates are set to file their Certificates of Candidacy (COC) before the Cebu City Comelec office on Monday.
