Cayetano hints at running for seat in House of Representatives

(Eagle News) — Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano on Wednesday, Oct. 10, hinted at running for a seat in the House of Representatives in 2019.

“It is time for me to come home to Taguig and Pateros. Although I never left and continue to live in Bagumbayan, Taguig, I have missed the daily intertwined life with my neighbors and brothers and sisters in Taguig and Pateros. I thank the many members of the Senate and the House who as early as last night have welcomed my possible return to Congress and expressed their unconditional support,” he said.

Taguig and Pateros share a congressional district.

Cayetano also thanked Special Assistant to the President Bong Go, Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez, Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, Public Works and Highways Mark Villar and Vince Dizon, Bases Conversion and Development Authority head.

It was President Rodrigo Duterte who announced Cayetano’s plans to run in 2019.

He said he already found a replacement for Cayetano at the helm of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
