The House of Representatives named Quezon 1st District Rep. Wilfrido Mark Enverga as the legislative caretaker of Valenzuela’s 1st District.

This comes after newly-appointed Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian left the post.

Enverga is part of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) and the chairman of the House of Committee on Agriculture and Food. He was elected to the House last 2007, took a break in 2016, and returned in 2019.

His appointment was pushed by House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe.

House Speaker Martin Romualdez said that the House will hold a special election allowing Valenzuela City voters to choose their new representative to the chamber.

It was on January 31 when President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appointed Valenzuela City Representative Rex Gatchalian as the new Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
