Candidate for Senator 2013: Baldomero Falcone and His Profile

Baldomero Falcone is a Filipino business consultant and politician currently running as a candidate for the 2013 Philippine Senate elections under the newly accredited Democratic Party of the Philippines, a political party in the Philippines founded in 2010 by Dr. Ernesto G. Ramos which seeks to be an alternative to traditional politics.

He ran for vice president in the 2010 national elections but was unsuccessful in his bid. Baldomero Falcone, along with two others, were disqualified from participating in the 2010 elections by the COMELEC citing they have “no political track record to prove it’s capability to mount a serious campaign despite fielding candidates in national positions.”

As a businessman and securitization expert, Baldomero Falcone is the president of Milenium Industrial Commercial Corporation, involved in reclaiming land in Cebu and vice-president of Global Interphase Security Services Provider Inc., a firm that provides foreign assignments to retired officers. He claimed that securitization is his special skill and that this can help increase revenues and decrease unemployment in the country.

He is the only senatorial candidate hailing from Visayas a “political abnormality” attributed to the existence of political dynasties pointed out that most of the candidates running for senator are only representing other family members in the senate.

Falcone has been highly vocal in his criticism of “oligarchs” and highly political families. He undoubtedly supports this bill, pushing for his vision of a truer democracy than one that is manipulated by the old and rich.

Baldomero Falcone was born on September 19, 1944 in Hindang, Leyte.

He is married to Alice L. Falcone.

Baldomero Falcone lives in Marikina City, Metro Manila.
