Khonghun has served three terms as Subic mayor since 2010, Radyo Inquirer 990 reported. Meanwhile, Melendez too was a public official herself, having been a councilor for the 2nd District of Quezon City from 2001 until 2010. She was supposed to run again for the same position, as per the Philippine Entertainment Portal, but chose to defer in support for Khonghun’s election bid. JB
