How this was researched

Edwin and Francis are mayors; Benhur II is a Tabogon councilor. Janice is a former representative. Daphne, Mariquita and Cesar are shown for documented past candidacies, not as officeholders. Janice–Francis is a step-family relationship through Benhur. No Janice–Daphne biological relationship is inferred.

Documented family networks; not a complete government or barangay roster. National offices are distinct from local offices.
