MisOcc Gov Henry Oaminal, 2nd District Rep. Ando Oaminal file reelection bid for 2025 polls

 


Misamis Occidental incumbent Governor Henry Oaminal and Second District Representative Sancho Fernando “Ando” Oaminal officially launched their bids for reelection in the upcoming 2025 elections.

The two were accompanied by fellow reelectionists Vice Governor Rowena Gutierrez and 1st District Representative Jason Almonte as they filed their Certificates of Candidacy (CoC) at the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) office in Oroquieta City.

In a statement, Governor Oaminal expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity to continue fostering positive development in Misamis Occidental for another term. “As soon as we took this position, we immediately prioritized peace and order in the province,” he stated. He highlighted a remarkable decrease in the average monthly crime rate, which fell from 24.52% in 2016 to just 13.64% in the first half of 2024. Notably, Misamis Occidental has also been officially declared insurgency-free this year.

“Our Asenso Misamis platform is built on the belief that healthy, peaceful, and safe communities are the pillars of progress. I am proud to say that we are actively making this a reality in Misamis Occidental,” he added.

Among Governor Oaminal’s significant initiatives is the Free Hospitalization Program, which has provided essential support to over 42,000 individuals, with financial assistance exceeding P186.5 million.

The province also recently celebrated the opening of the Panguil Bay Bridge—a project proposed by Oaminal more than ten years ago during his early days in Congress. This bridge, now the longest sea-crossing bridge in Mindanao, connects Misamis Occidental to Lanao del Norte, drastically reducing travel time from over two hours to just seven minutes.

Representative Ando Oaminal echoed his father’s optimism, expressing confidence that Misamisnons will grant them the opportunity to continue their service. “We believe that as long as we do our best—acting as their effective voice in Congress and ensuring their needs are met—we will continue to earn the trust of the people,” he said.

“We are grateful for the privilege to serve, and we are committed to delivering further achievements for Misamis Occidental,” Rep. Oaminal added.

Since 2022, the Oaminal administration has spearheaded the 5Ms development thrust, encapsulating their vision for the province. The 5Ms—Misamisnon Magpuyong Malinawon, Malambuon, ug Malipayon (Misamisnon Live Peacefully, Prosperously, and Happily)—serve as a guiding principle for the local government’s programs and initiatives.

As the Oaminals gear up for the election, they remain dedicated to building a brighter future for the people of Misamis Occidental.
