Incoming Cavite 4th District Rep. Barzaga Embraces Pro-Animal Advocacy
Francis “Kiko” Barzaga, the incoming Cavite 4th district representative, firmly stands by his pro-animal advocacy despite often being the subject of online ridicule. Known for his unique personality, Barzaga openly shared his plans to champion animal welfare once he assumes office.
On the evening of June 12, Barzaga, who will serve Dasmariñas City in Congress, addressed a critical comment on Facebook. The comment, allegedly from Dekdek Paloma, questioned his capability, saying, “Kawawa naman ang Dasma…ano kaya gagawin nito sa Congress?” (Dasma is pitiful…what would this do in Congress?).
Barzaga’s Commitment to Animal Welfare
In response, Barzaga posted a quote card declaring, “Gagawa ako ng mga batas para sa mga stray asodogs at posacats” (I will create laws for stray dogs and cats). This statement underscores his genuine dedication to improving the lives of street animals in his district.
Despite his eccentricity on social media, the 26-year-old Barzaga remains personable and articulate. Local leaders noted that he enjoys strong support within his community. His passion for animals, especially cats and dogs, is well known, and he vows to translate this passion into meaningful legislation.
Background and Public Perception
Barzaga is the son of the late Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr., his predecessor in representing Cavite’s 4th district. While some critics focus on his unconventional style, many constituents appreciate his authenticity and clear vision.
His pro-animal advocacy is more than a personal interest; it’s a cause he plans to prioritize in Congress. He aims to address the issue of stray animals through laws that protect their welfare, reflecting his commitment to both his community and its voiceless creatures.
