Actor-endorser Dominic Roque was spotted during the filing of the certificate of candidacy (COC) of former lawmaker Bong Suntay, who is also president of the gas station the former endorses.
The showbiz personality was among those who accompanied the Cleanfuel president as he formalized his bid to run for Quezon City’s Fourth District representative in the 2025 midterm elections.
Bong filed his COC on Tuesday, October 8, the last day of filing for electoral aspirants in the upcoming polls.
He held the same position from 2019 to 2022, running under the PDP-Laban party.
Reports show that Bong was with Dominic, who was on the sidelines during the former’s COC filing.
The former congressman was among those who were speculated to be the actor’s “sugar daddy” during the height of the breakup between Dominic and actress Bea Alonzo.
