Lilia was Lubao mayor from 1992 to 2001 and governor from 2010; in 2010–2013 her vice governor was Yeng Guiao, and the mother–son rotation began in 2013. Dennis, Bong and Lilia’s only son, was Lubao mayor from 2001 to 2010. Mylyn resigned from the provincial board in April 2024 and lost the 2025 San Fernando mayoral race; her election protest was still pending in August 2026. Yolly Pineda was Santa Rita mayor from 2007 to 2016; Inquirer (2013) also calls her Bong’s daughter-in-law. Sources describe Bong as the family’s patriarch; allegations against him are not findings, and he was never convicted. Lubao Councilor Nenita Garcia, Santa Rita Councilor Jessie Pineda and other Pampanga Pinedas have no stated relation to this family.
