MANILA, Philippine – ABS-CBN News journalist Marisol “Sol” Aragones will be running for congresswoman of Laguna's 3rd district in the upcoming 2013 mid-term elections.
The 34-year-old Aragones will run under the ticket of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) against incumbent Congresswoman Ma. Evita Arago.
Aragones, a TV Patrol reporter and dzMM radio anchor, has been with ABS-CBN for 13 years.
Last Sunday, Aragones bade goodbye to health program “Salamat Dok," where she has been a segment host for more than a year.
“Hindi naman nalalayo ang mundong aking pupuntahan sa mundong mayroon tayo ngayon. Ako po ay sandali munang babalik sa aming bayan para magserbisyo sa aking mga kababayan,” she said.
Among the ABS-CBN journalists who are holding or have held local and congressional posts include Mon Ilagan (Cainta); Angelo Palmones (Agham party); Gilbert Remulla (Cavite); Cesar Soriano (Siocon).
TV Patrol anchor Noli de Castro became senator and vice-president. Former World Tonight anchor Senator Loren Legarda is running for another term in 2013.
