CUYAPO, Nueva Ecija – The father of actor Daniel Padilla has regained his seat in the provincial board.

Rommel Padilla garnered 149,644 votes, the highest among the elected members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.

Rommel was elected member of the provincial board in 2007. He ran but lost for vice governor in 2010.

His younger brother Robin ran but lost for vice governor in 1995.

Their elder brother, Casimiro “Roy” Padilla was former governor. He is serving a two-year sentence after he was found guilty of malversation of public property for failing to return a government-issued firearm in November 2012.

The Padilla brothers have their roots in Barangay Nagmisahan, Cuyapo town, where their mother Eva Cariño lives.
