As the race for a House seat heats on, former Malabon City Mayor Antolin 'Lenlen' Oreta is stepping into the arena, leveraging a proven track record of governance that has left a lasting impact on the city. His tenure as Mayor was marked by progressive initiatives that significantly improved public services, infrastructure, and community welfare. Education and Youth Empowerment: One of Oreta's cornerstone policies was enhancing educational opportunities for Malabon's youth. His MLLO Scholarship Program provided financial assistance to thousands of students, ensuring that education remained within reach for families in dire need. Under his leadership, the City also launched the Gamit sa Pag-aaral, Alalay sa Mag-aaral initiative, which supplied students with essential learning materials. Recognizing the evolving landscape of education, Oreta championed digital literacy through programs like 'Teche na sila Lolo at Lola' which introduced Senior Citizens to modern technology. He also strengthened the City of Malabon University (CMU), securing its accreditation, expanding its course offerings, and modernizing its facilities to enhance the capabilities and learning skills of the students.

HEALTHCARE and Social Welfare: Oreta's administration revolutionized Malabon's healthcare system with the establishment of Ospital ng Malabon (OsMal), ensuring residents had access to medical services. The Health Nýo, Care Ko! program distributed essential supplies to all 21 health centers, bolstering public health initiatives across the city. His commitment to social welfare extended to pioneering nutrition programs, such as the award-winning ''Karinderia Para sa Kalusugan ni Chikiting.'' This initiative addressed childhood malnutrition by partnering with local eateries to provide undernourished children with balanced meals. The program not only improved public health but, also supported small enterprises through training and giving loans for start-up businesses.

ECONOMIC Growth: Livelihood and Employment Opportunities
Understanding Malabon students' economic challenges, Ex-Mayor Antolin Oreta implemented programs that fostered livelihood and employment. Through Lingap Kabuhayan, small business owners and struggling families received financial assistance to sustain their projects. Job fairs, employment referrals, and OFW reintegration programs also played a crucial role in boosting local employment.

A standout initiative was the Malabon Tricycle Tours, a tourism-livelihood hybrid program that highlighted the city's rich culinary and cultural heritage. This project not only promoted Malabon as a travel destination but also provided additional income opportunities for tricycle drivers, earning national recognition for its innovative approach to local tourism.

Another notable livelihood was the Senior Patroller program, which provided employment opportunities for Senior Citizens by engaging them in community patrol and public safety efforts. This program employed seniors as Barangay safety partners, assisting children in schools and promoting discipline. On a rotational basis, this initiative not only gave seniors a renewed sense of purpose but also fostered stronger relationships with the community.
