Being in a different political parties is not an issue for celebrity couple Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres-Gomez, who are both running for public office this May elections.
Richard is running for mayoral position under Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban).
The aspiring Ormoc City mayor was endorsed by PDP-Laban's presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte and vice versa.
Meanwhile, Lucy, the incumbent representative of Leyte's Fourth District, is seeking for re-election under Liberal Party.
Despite this, the couple showed unity in their goals as a public servant, that is, “to improve the lives of our people in Ormoc City and the Fourth District of Leyte.”
On his Instagram post last Monday, April 4, Richard showed two versions of Gomez baller giveaways.
He wrote on its caption: “Lucy and I belong to two different political parties but with only one goal---to improve the lives of our people in Ormoc City and the 4th District of Leyte. Usa ra ang Ormoc, ato ning Pangga-on!”
Meanwhile, here's Lucy's birthday message for her husband Richard after their campaign rally last night.
And Richard's reply was:
In a separate Facebook post, Richard showed a birthday surprise he received from the members of his campaign slate:
My whole ormoc campaign slate wakes me up w a bday greeting
