Political career

Villafuerte defeated incumbent vice governor Imelda Papin, former Representative Rolando Andaya Jr., and two independents in the 2022 Camarines Sur gubernatorial election. His win helped end the run of the Andaya and Alfelor families in Camarines Sur politics, perpetuating the Villafuerte clan.[3][4]

Villafuerte is the son of Luis Raymund Villafuerte, and brother to Miguel Luis Villafuerte. He is the grandson of Luis Villafuerte and Nelly Favis-Villafuerte.[5]

Villafuerte graduated from New York University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Computer Science.[1]
