Gladys Vergara Steps Up for Baguio’s Congressional Seat

BAGUIO CITY — With a vision to make the city a model of progress and sustainability, Gladys Vergara humbly offers her candidacy as Congresswoman. Guided by the principles of servant leadership and deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of our city, Vergara promise to build a brighter, more inclusive future for every Baguio resident.


According to Vergara, as Congresswoman, her main duty is to create, support, and push for laws that directly address the needs of our people. Some of the laws she want to fulfill are: Improve public services; Enhance infrastructure; Promote environmental sustainability; and Boost economic growth.



“Sisiguraduhin ko na Baguio’s Identity and Priorities ay maging mahusay na kinakatawan sa pambansang paggawa ng patakaran habang walang pagod na nagtatrabaho upang makakuha ng pagpopondo at mga inisyatiba na nagpapasigla sa buhay ng bawat mamamayan.”


She said, together, we can shape Baguio into a model of a Smart, Sustainable, and Equitably Developed Urban City—one that preserves its cultural heritage, protects its environment, and empowers its people.


These values will ensure that Baguio remains dynamic, livable, and inclusive for future generations.


According to Vergara, the essence of her leadership is service—selfless and sincere. “‘Glad to Serve You’ is more than just a slogan; it reflects my lifelong commitment to putting the needs of our community above all else. With humility, empathy, and firm dedication, I will strive to improve the well-being of every individual.”


She said she draws strength and inspiration from the exceptional public service of her father, former Congressman Bernardo Vergara, whose proactive and action-driven leadership earned the trust and respect of countless Baguio residents.


“ Ang kanyang kakayahang kumilos nang mapagpasyang at maghatid ng mga resulta ay nananatiling tanda ng pamumuno na nais kong tularan. Ito rin ang hindi natitinag na dedikasyon sa pagkilos na dinadala ko habang nangangako ako sa paglilingkod sa ating lungsod nang may kakayahan, habag, at integridad, “


“As I begin this journey, I seek your support and strength to lead with wisdom and fairness, always guided by the greater good. Together, let us honor Baguio’s past, embrace change, and create a future we can all be proud of.”


“Ang iyong tiwala at suporta ay magbibigay sa amin ng kapangyarihan upang makamit ang aming ibinahaging pananaw para sa Baguio City. Ikinararangal kong makasama ka sa gawaing ito at mapagpakumbabang hilingin ang iyong pag-endorso habang nagsusumikap tayo para sa isang mas magandang bukas,”  Vergara said.
