Pidjanga notes: I am glad that Mano Cenon finally replied to my post (Who is Cenon Japay?) and has willingly shared his short bio-profile to let those who are interested in his candidacy may know him and campaign for him. I will request his platform of government to be posted here. I will also try to contact Mano Ramon to also share his side. Cheers, Mainitnon. Mabuhay.
