The race for the 2025 mayoralty heats up as former Vice Mayor Jimmy Lazatin throws his weight behind Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab, solidifying her position as a strong contender in the upcoming elections.

Lazatin, a respected figure in local politics and a member of one of Pampanga’s prominent business families, adds considerable influence to Pineda-Cayabyab’s campaign. His endorsement comes on the heels of another major show of support from former Mayor Edwin Santiago, further strengthening the momentum behind her bid to lead the city.

Pineda-Cayabyab, a seasoned public servant and former Lubao mayor and Third District board member, has laid out a compelling platform focused on enhancing health services, expanding access to education, and improving the quality of life for Fernandinos.

Her grassroots approach and deep ties to the community have struck a chord with voters, earning her the reputation of being a leader who genuinely understands and prioritizes the needs of the people.

Political observers note that endorsements from influential Pampanga leaders like Lazatin and Santiago not only validate her vision but also position her as a frontrunner in the highly anticipated mayoral race.

With a growing coalition of respected allies rallying behind her, Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab’s campaign is shaping up as a force to be reckoned with—one that carries the promise of progressive and people-centered leadership for San Fernando.
