Elected in the 2023 barangay & SK elections (DILG directory). Matched by last name only within Cagayan; a common surname is very likely to include unrelated families. The list above shows only the punong barangay and SK chairs.

A surname bloc is officials elected in one province who carry the same surname as last or middle name; barangay & SK officials with the same last name are listed separately. Shared names may not mean kinship, and a bloc is not evidence of wrongdoing. Definition and data:BetterGov.ph Dynasties
