Goma, Lucy file COCs
ORMOC CITY, Philippines – Actor Richard Gomez and his wife Lucy Torres-Gomez yesterday filed their certificates of candidacy (COCs) for mayor of this city and congresswoman of Leyte, respectively.
“This time I am entering the political arena with eyes wide open,” the congresswoman said. She was the first candidate to file a COC at the Commission on Elections office in Tacloban at around 10:30 a.m.
Richard, on the other hand, told reporters that the Codillas should blame themselves for having an opponent for mayor in Ormoc. “ If they did not work to have me disqualified when I ran for Congress, they could have run unopposed,” he said.
Richard’s running mate is Carmelo Locsin Jr., 38, youngest son of former lawmakers Carmelo and Vicky Locsin.
Richard and Lucy said they decided to file their COCs on the first day to show their supporters that they are confident in their and their teammates’ chance of winning
