Leni Robredo, the widow of well-loved former Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo, was proclaimed congresswoman of the 3rd district of Camarines Sur on Wednesday, May 15. She defeated Nelly Villafuerte, the wife of incumbent Rep Luis Villafuerte Sr. The Villafuertes have been in power for over 3 decades, and were accused of engaging in vote buying during the election period.
