Sol Aragones secured the win in 24 out of 30 localities in Laguna

How did Laguna Governor-Elect Sol Aragones clinch victory in the 2025 elections?

Hover over the map below to check the cities and towns won by Aragones in the race to the capitol.

The race was once seen as a fight of the bailiwicks.

Laguna 2nd District Representative Ruth Hernandez was expected to carry the localities she represents — Bay, Cabuyao, and Los Baños. She was also seen as formidable in Calamba, the province’s most populous locality, where she served as councilor for many years.

Santa Rosa Representative Dan Fernandez, meanwhile, was expected to win in his city.

Both Aragones and Vice Governor Karen Agapay are both from San Pablo, sparking earlier concerns that they might split the vote in the 3rd District and weaken Aragones in her own bailiwick.

But while Hernandez did win in a landslide Bay, Cabuyo, Los Baños, and Calamba, she failed to dominate the rest of Laguna, except in Pakil, a town in the 4th District, where she had a narrow lead.

Meanwhile, Aragones proved that her fellow hometown hero Agapay was a non-factor in San Pablo, garnering more than 90,000 votes, five times higher than second placer Hernandez’s 18,000 votes.

Aragones also topped the race in Santa Rosa, the province’s second most populous city, beating Fernandez in his bailiwick.

She also had a comfortable lead in the cities of San Pedro and Biñan.

Aragones, a broadcast journalist before she became a politician, was a congresswoman for nine years before she made an unsuccessful bid for the capitol in 2022.

She ran on a health-based platform in 2025, and is now set to succeed term-limited Governor Ramil Hernandez. – with reports from Dylan Salcedo/Rappler.com
