Manay Gina takes oath as 20th Congress member
GINA de Venecia was sworn in on June 4, along with other elected and reelected representatives, by House Speaker Martin Romualdez as members of the 20th Congress representing the 4th District of Pangasinan.
Her oath-taking was witnessed by her husband, former five-time Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., and their son, outgoing 4th District Rep. Christopher de Venecia, who served the maximum three consecutive terms.
Manay Gina, as she is fondly referred to, won overwhelmingly against her lone opponent in the May 12 elections with 229,189 votes, representing 84.63% of the votes in Dagupan City, and the towns of Mangaldan, San Fabian, San Jacinto, and Manaoag.
De Venecia was previously an undefeated representative of the 4th District, holding the seat for two terms from 2011 to 2016. (Leonardo Micua)
