Recto.[2]

Personal life

His father was Vicente de Vera, himself a former senator[2] and chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) from 1947 to 1951,[3] which led to an unsuccessful attempt by the younger de Vera's rivals in the Nacionalista Party to have the elder de Vera removed by the Supreme Court as COMELEC chairman due to a supposed conflict of interest in his son's election in 1949.[4]
