Mayor-elect April Aguilar and her mother, former Las Piñas City mayor Vice Mayor Imelda Aguilar, stomped their class by beating their respective political adversaries in the just concluded 2025 National and Local Elections (NLE).
The daughter-and-mother tandem dominated the Villar-led Nacionalista Party’s mayoral bet Carlo Aguilar — April’s cousin — and vice mayoral bet Louie Bustamante.
April and Imelda also won during the 2022 elections, but it was Imelda who served as mayor and April as her vice mayor.
In a Facebook post, Mayor April expressed her heartfelt thanks to all Las Piñeros who supported and voted for her as the new mayor of the city.
“Taos-pusong pasasalamat sa bawat Las Piñero na sumuporta at bumoto upang ihalal ako bilang bagong alkalde ng mahal nating Lungsod ng Las Piñas!”
She said, “Ngayon, higit kailanman, magkaisa tayo bilang isang lungsod. Hindi na kulay o partido ang mahalaga, kundi ang kapakanan ng bawat isang Las Piñero.”
Mayor Aguilar said her triumph is just the start of a new journey towards the continued progress of Las Piñas.
On the other hand, Vice Mayor Imelda also thanked her constituents for electing her as the second-highest official in her beloved city.
“Maraming maraming salamat po sa patuloy na pagtitiwala! Ako'y taos-pusong nagpapasalamat sa mga minamahal kong Las Piñero, sa patuloy ninyong tiwala at pagmamahal sa akin at sa buong Team Aguilar Tatak Nene Aguilar.”
With her win, the lady vice mayor said she will do all she can to better serve her constituents alongside her daughter.
“Isang tagumpay ang maayos at patas na pagtatapos ng eleksiyon sa Las Piñas. Mahal na mahal ko kayong lahat. Tuloy Ang Tapat At Progresibong Serbisyo para sa Las Piñero!”
