Two Mothers, One Congressional Seat for Baguio City's Lone District

The battle for the congressional seat in the lone district of Baguio has become one of the most exciting races to watch. At the center of this showdown are two remarkable women, Gladys Vergara and Soledad "Sol" Go, both mothers, both determined to serve and elevate Baguio City to greater heights.

On one hand, we have Gladys Vergara, a much younger but already experienced figure known for her long-standing contributions to Baguio’s public service scene. Despite her youth, she has built a reputation as someone who cares deeply about the city’s future, with a career rooted in community involvement and governance. Vergara is not new to the intricacies of leadership, and her experience with grassroots programs has made her a familiar and beloved figure among the people.

Her vision for Baguio goes beyond the usual political promises. She wants to focus on sustainable development, youth empowerment, and ensuring that the local economy is ready to adapt to the modern world. Many people in the city feel a sense of hope with her candidacy. Her supporters believe that she is the right person to bring in much-needed reforms while preserving the city's heritage and values.

On the other side of this contest is Sol Go, another remarkable mother with a clear passion for Baguio. Sol Go’s political career may not be as extensive as Vergara’s, but what she brings to the table is a fresh perspective and an eagerness to address the needs of Baguio’s residents in a more practical manner. Sol is widely known for her hands-on approach to community services, particularly in social welfare and health-related programs. Her supporters see her as a candidate who can relate to the ordinary citizen's struggles and is willing to work hard to find solutions.

While both women have their strengths, the reality is that the race seems to lean slightly more in favor of Gladys Vergara. Her younger age coupled with her deeper ties to the community and her years of experience in governance give her a distinct advantage over Sol. Vergara's supporters argue that she is more prepared for the challenges ahead, especially given the city's unique issues, such as urbanization, traffic, and the need for sustainable tourism. Baguio has always been a special city with its own distinct identity, and they believe Vergara is the right one to protect and guide it forward.

However, it would be unfair to disregard the energy and passion that Sol Go has brought into the race. Many appreciate her sincerity and her connection with the everyday struggles of Baguio’s residents. Sol has managed to create a strong following that believes she can bring change from a more grassroots level.

As for the other candidates? Well, they seem to be out of the picture. The truth is, it’s really a face-off between these two promising moms who are both fiercely committed to the city they love. With the kind of dedication these women are showing, Baguio is in good hands, no matter who wins. The real question now is which mother will be chosen to nurture Baguio's future.



In the end, it’s clear that both Gladys Vergara and Sol Go are forces to be reckoned with. They are not just politicians; they are mothers, leaders, and most of all, symbols of hope for a better Baguio.
