Even if he ran unopposed in the last election, Alfred hasn’t remained complacent, although his sterling record and performance speak eloquently for him, proud of what he described as his “womb-to-tomb” projects. Many have thought he was just another actor riding on fame to become a politician. And many have questioned his credibility, just another member of the bandwagon. But when Alfred Vargas set his hopes high, he was determined to overcome and prove everybody wrong.
