How they are related

How this was researched

Carlos Irwin “Caloy” Baldo Jr., his sister Maria Ahrdail “Ding” and their brother Carlwyn were elected in two Albay towns in 2016, when Ding took the Camalig mayoralty Caloy was leaving and Caloy became her vice mayor; the two swapped back unopposed in 2019 and held the same posts in 2025. Carlwyn was Daraga’s vice mayor and became mayor in 2018 on the death of Mayor Gerry Jaucian, lost the 2019 election to Victor Perete after the police named him as the suspected mastermind in the killing of Ako Bicol Rep. Rodel Batocabe, later returned as mayor, and was arrested in August 2024; he was still detained when his wife Lhal ran for the post in 2025 and lost to Perete. The case has not been decided, and kinship here implies nothing about it. Daraga’s Sangguniang Bayan includes SK Federation President Sophia Laine A. Baldo, whom a reader calls a niece; no source states the relationship, so she is not shown.
