COTABATO CITY – Agriculture Undersecretary
Bai Ranibai Dilangalen today filed her certificate of candidacy (COC) for a
seat in the House of Representatives representing Maguindanao first district
with Cotabato City.
Dilangalen, a lawyer, filed her substitute COC
before the office of Maguindanao election supervisor Paisalin Tago.
The DA official replaced the candidacy of her aunt,

Dilangalen is running under the Partido Federal ng
Pilipinas, the forerunner of Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte National Executive
Coordinating Council (MRRD-NECC).She believed the party objectives and advocacies will
carry her to the House.

prepared to break the norms in Maguindanao where some politicians hold
command votes in their respective locality.
Dilangalen stressed that each voter should be heard
and do away with traditional way of choosing leaders.

Cotabato City Mayor Muslimin Sema, ARMM Regional Assembly Speaker Ronnni
Sinsuat Sr and Jam Dumama, nephew of Cotabato City Mayor Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi.The post will be vacated by Rep. Bai Sandra Sema who
