Except for the Alfelors of Rinconada, the politicians in Camarines Sur filed their certificates of candidacy for the posts they were initially eyeing. This is true at least at the provincial level. The original discussions was for Peachy Alfelor to run as Vice Governor of Nonoy Andaya while Madel Gazmen will elevate herself to the Congressional seat representing the 5th District.

Because of internal dynamics in the Alfelor Clan, Provincial Board member Russel Banes had to step in. Hence, Andaya, who claims to be supported by former President and current Speaker of the House Gloria Arroyo, has Banes as running mate while reelectionist Migz Villafuerte has Imelda Papin. Competing with them is Bishop Buenaflor of the Pederalismo ng Dugong DakilangSamahan (PDDS).
