Meanwhile, reelectionist second district Representative Elisa Kho, wife of Antonio, crushed the incumbent Masbate Vice Gov. Jo Kristine Revil, who sought her first national position in Congress.
Masbate first district Representative Maria Vida Bravo also failed to win her vice gubernatorial bid and lost to the neophyte Olga Kho, daughter of Antonio and Elisa.
Former Masbate first district representative Narciso Bravo Jr., husband of Maria Vida, is returning to the Congress for a new term after defeating the incumbent San Pascual town Mayor Zacarina Lazaro.
