Legarda victory, a victory for Antique

Senator Loren Legarda today lauded the reelection of her brother, Antique Lone District Representative Antonio “AA” Legarda, calling it not just a personal triumph but a victory for the people of Antique. She emphasized that their brand of leadership is rooted in genuine public service and a shared commitment to uplift the lives of Antiqueños.

“Ikinagagalak ko na ang minamahal kong probinsya ng Antique ay muling nagtiwala at sumama sa layunin namin na mapaunlad ang buhay ng bawat kasimanwa. Ang tagumpay na ito ay hindi lamang tagumpay ng Legarda, ito ay tagumpay ng mga Antiqueño,” she said.

Since first being elected in 2022, Representative “AA” Legarda has built on the legacy of his sister, who once served as Antique’s lone district representative and is the only Antiqueña to have become Deputy Speaker of the House. Their leadership has focused on strengthening social services—particularly in healthcare, education, and livelihood—while also pushing for key infrastructure projects such as the Antique Airport in San Jose de Buenavista, Antique Convention Center, Paliwan and Nasuli-Vilvar Bridges, Pandan Ecotourism Road, and the Panay East-West Road, among many projects that will open up Antique to the provinces of Iloilo, Aklan, Capiz through other routes. This will generate tourism, and foster trade of goods.

“Ang serbisyong Legarda, serbisyo diretso sa tawo,” sen. Loren Legarda remarked as she thanked Antiqueños for their continued trust and support.

Senator Legarda assured the public that her brother and she will continue to advance development initiatives pledging her full support to efforts in delivering meaningful progress for the province and its people.

“Sa patuloy na pagseserbisyo sa tao, bibigyang-pansin natin at higit pang tutulungan ang mga nasa laylayan. Sa pagkapanalong ito, aksyon agad ang maaasahan ng mga Antiqueño: mabilis at epektibong tulong, at mas pinalawak na mga programa—sapagkat ang Antique, may AA Legarda na, may Inday Loren pa,” she concluded.
