ANGELES CITY -- Former Pampanga First District representative Francis “Blueboy” Nepomuceno said he will not seek for any elective position during the mid-term polls next year.
Nepomuceno, who is also a former mayor of this city, bared this during the Pampanga Press Club’s media forum at Park Inn by Radisson Clark last Tuesday.
Nepomuceno said that he is now happy with his private life which he described as “stress-free living.”
SunStar Pampanga learned that supporters are pushing the former official to run for mayor but the latter turned down the idea.
He however hinted that if he will run for an elective position next year, it will not be the city’s mayorship.
He is a son of former Angeles City’s politicians Francisco Nepomuceno and Juanita Nepomuceno, who both became governor of the province of Pampanga in the 70s.
At the same time, Nepomuceno informed the PPC members of his acquittal from corruption charges by some city officials which happened to be his political detractors.
According to him, he has no intention of filing counter charges against the officials.
“The truth shall set you free. Praise God. My Sandiganbayan case dismissed, thank you to all who supported me and believed in my innocence. And to all my political detractors, I forgive you,” Nepomuceno stated.
The Sandiganbayan Special Fourth Division has acquitted Nepomuceno of corruption charges which stemmed from a donation of vehicle to a non-government organization.
