Cardema was substituted as the top nominee of Duterte Youth but was later disqualified for being ineligible because of his age.

As a commissioner, Guanzon opposed Cardema as a substitute nominee.

Guanzon also sits as the first nominee of winning party-list group P3PWD through substitution.

“Whether Cardema likes it or not, I will be a congresswoman,” Guanzon said.
