General Manager Mark Lapid, Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) chief operating officer, confirmed that he is definitely running for senator in 2016.

Lapid, however, said he still has no party as of now, being with TIEZA yet.

During a station visit at dyRD last Sunday, the young Lapid said he is still waiting for the declaration of the possible standard-bearers who are still not finalized yet.

He hinted though that he would be with the administration party when he said that he had been with TIEZA for six years and will be waiting for the decision of the administration party.

As of now, he said he will finish all the works at TIEZA that needs to be done.

For his father, action star Lito Lapid, will be running for city mayor of Angeles City.

Lapid said he regularly comes to Bohol because of TIEZA which implemented several projects already.

Lapid, like his father, had also been an actor before entering politics and became governor of Pampanga in 2004-2007.
