The Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) has endorsed Sheen Gonzales as its candidate for Eastern Samar’s lone congressional seat and Ralph Vincent “RV” Evardone as its gubernatorial candidate in the May 12 midterm elections.

The endorsement was made at a proclamation rally in Dolores town, Eastern Samar, where party leaders and supporters gathered in a strong show of unity on March 30.

Gonzales, who previously served as Eastern Samar vice governor and mayor of Guiuan, is the son-in-law of House Minority Leader and 4Ps party-list Rep. Marcelino “Nonoy” Libanan.

RV Evardone is the son of outgoing Eastern Samar Gov. Ben Evardone, who also serves as PFP’s regional chairperson.

Both are running under the banner “Solido para Progreso.”

Gonzales underscored the importance of political unity in driving progress for Eastern Samar.

“Political unity is the key to unlocking economic development and improving the quality of life for our people,” he said.

Gonzales emphasized the need for leaders who prioritize public service over political interests.

“Our communities deserve leaders who put people over politics. When we unite around common goals—like economic opportunity, better schools, and accessible healthcare—we create a future that benefits everyone, not just a select few,” he added.

Gonzales also called for collaborative leadership to address the province’s challenges.

“By bringing together diverse perspectives and working hand in hand, we can craft policies that promote job creation, infrastructure development, and a thriving local economy,” he said.
