Cebu 4th district board member candidate pushes for inclusive growth in Cebu

CEBU CITY— A Cebu 4th district candidate for Board Member, Jenny Zata Armamento is batting for inclusive growth for the Province of Cebu with women’s welfare, healthcare access, tourism and livelihood as her agenda platform.

Armamento hails from the island of Maricaban, Santa Fe, Cebu where the waves tell stories of resilience and hope. For the first time, the 4th District of Cebu has a Board Member representative who hails from Santa Fe, a testament to the changing tides of leadership and representation.

Born into the lineage of the Batiancilas on her mother’s side and the Zatas on her father’s, BM Jenny grew up with the values of hard work, perseverance, and service deeply ingrained in her. She later married into the Armamento family, further strengthening her roots in the island community.

With an academic record marked by excellence, BM Jenny graduated Cum Laude from the University of San Carlos – Main Campus with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management. She then built a distinguished career in the hospitality industry, serving as a manager in a five-star hotel before venturing into business.

Today, she is a successful entrepreneur, owning and managing a hotel and restaurant business that contributes to the local economy.   BM Jenny’s transition from business to public service was driven by her deep-seated passion for community welfare.

Recognizing the challenges faced by her fellow islanders, she took on the role of First Councilor of Maricaban, Santa Fe, where she worked tirelessly to bridge the gaps in essential services and economic opportunities.

Her leadership and commitment have now led her to a greater platform as the first-ever Board Member from Santa Fe, representing the 4th District of Cebu.

Armamento’s leadership is centered on three key advocacies: Pro-Women’s Welfare (Kababayhan) where she advocates for women’s empowerment, ensuring that women have access to opportunities, resources, and protection from violence and discrimination.

Healthcare Access (Kahimsug) where she prioritizes improved healthcare services, striving for better medical facilities and programs that cater to the needs of her constituents, especially in remote island communities.

Tourism and Livelihood (Kabuhayan).  Understanding the potential of Santa Fe’s rich natural beauty, Armamento promotes sustainable tourism while creating livelihood programs that uplift local entrepreneurs and workers.

Her leadership is founded on the belief that true progress should reach every corner of the community.  As she steps into her new role as Board Member, she carries with her a promise: to be a voice for the people of Santa Fe and the entire 4th District. (Photos: BM Jenny's FB/Google Images)
