CITY – Christopher “Toff” de Venecia Thursday filed his certificate of
candidacy, substituting for his mother, Rep. Gina de Venecia, as representative
of Pangasinan’s fourth district in the 2016 elections.
Toff,son of former House speaker Jose de
Venecia Jr., filed his candidacy after his mother withdrew her electoral bid at
the Commission on Elections provincial office here.
Gina is in her second term.
The 28-year-old Toff, who is running under
the administration’s Liberal Party, is an editor of Young Star, the Friday
youth section of The Star where he also writes a regular column.
“The youth is vital to the community because
like me, they are energetic, passionate, and full of ideas,” he said.
Gina said they decided it was the right time
for Toff to enter the world of politics, noting he is willing and determined to
help the people, especially the youth.
She and her husband are seeking the support
of their constituents for their son in the next year’s elections.
