Bonoy Gonzaga, the father of celebrity sisters Toni and Alex Gonzaga, was not able to get enough votes to win the mayoralty race in Taytay, Rizal.
Bonoy placed second to incumbent Mayor Joric Gacula with only 38,301 votes.

God is GOOD all the TIME. Thank you to all your messages to still show your LOVE and support.”
