Every tie now cites the city’s own biographies or a news report; the earlier Wikipedia and community-page citations were replaced. Menchie Abalos was mayor 2016–2022, vice mayor 2022–2025 while her father-in-law Benjamin Sr. returned as mayor, and mayor again from 2025. The cousin link between Benjie and JC Abalos was removed because no source states it; it follows only from their parents’ relationships.
Researched subset; council and barangay coverage is incomplete.
