Political career
Villafuerte was elected Governor of Camarines Sur in 2013, defeating his grandfather Luis Villafuerte.[2] At the age of 24, he is the youngest elected governor in Philippine history, surpassing Mark Lapid. Along with Jolo Revilla (then Vice-Governor of Cavite), Villafuerte is among the youngest politicians elected in the 2013 polls.[3] He was reelected to office in the 2016 and 2019 polls, while his father was likewise elected to Congress as Camarines Sur Representative. His grandfather, on the other hand, lost his Congressional bid during the 2016 and 2019 elections.
