MANILA --  Actor Alfred Vargas has casted his vote at SM City Fairview, one of the mall voting program venues by the Commission on Elections.

It was October last year when the actor-politician filed his certificate of candidacy seeking for another term as councilor in Quezon City's 5th District.

A Management Economics graduate from the Ateneo de Manila University, the actor is the son of the late lawyer Susana “Ching” Vargas, who previously worked as deputy executive secretary for finance and administration in Malacanang, under three former presidents, Corazon Aquino, Fidel Ramos and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

He first won a seat in Congress in 2013. His brother, Patrick Michael "PM" Vargas represents Quezon City's 5th District at the House of Representatives.  

Vargas had auditioned for Star Magic Batch 10, which included Bea Alonzo, Dennis Trillo and Nadine Samonte.
