Political career

[edit]

Vijandre's first political venture was in 2013 when he ran for a seat in Taguig city council. He joined the local party Kilusang Diwa ng Taguig and included in then-mayoral candidate Rica Tiñga's ticket for the city's first district.[1] However, he lost when he got the 10th place in the official count. (Taguig's city council is composed of 8 members per district)

In the 2022 elections, Vijandre decided to run again for a seat in the city council, this time, in San Juan. He joined PDP-Laban and included in Mayor Francis Zamora's Makabagong San Juan ticket. He managed to get the 5th place in the official count and proclaimed as councilor-elect for the city's 1st district.[2]
