Calamba City, Laguna — History has been made.

In what is now being recognized as the most resounding electoral victory in Calamba City’s history, Mayor Ross Rizal secured a staggering 194,351 votes, marking an overwhelming expression of trust and support from the people. Alongside him, Vice Mayor Angelito Lazaro and Congresswoman Cha Hernandez were also re-elected, completing a landslide win for the incumbent leadership team — their second consecutive term together.

The elections may be over, but the conversations continue. Across neighborhoods, online platforms, and community gatherings, emotions remain raw. Some residents are still coming to terms with the outcome, while others struggle with acceptance. Misinformation has emerged on social media, with some questioning: “Who really won as mayor?”

But the numbers speak for themselves — clear, unquestionable, and historic. No cheating. No deception. Only democracy in action.

This moment is more than just a political victory; it reflects a powerful collective decision. In a city rich with diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and political affiliations, Calambeños came together to voice their will.

While emotions may be fueled by personal experiences and deep-seated loyalties, it is now time to reflect and heal. Let us be mindful of our words. In the heat of the moment, we may have said things we regret. But as citizens, and as Christians, we are called to compassion, humility, and respect.

It is not easy to accept defeat, especially when ideology clashes with democracy. But the path forward requires truth, acceptance, and unity. Regardless of which political boat we sailed in, we all belong to the same city — and our future depends on how we move forward together.

Let us give due respect to those whom the people have chosen. They carry the mandate of the majority, and they deserve the opportunity to serve without hate or malice.

In the end, we are reminded:
LOVE over hate.
KINDNESS over bitterness.
UNITY over division.

Let this historic moment be not just a political milestone, but a turning point for healing, hope, and harmony in Calamba.
