He pledged to continue contributing to the welfare of the community, even as a private citizen. “Umasa po kayo na hindi po natatapos ang serbisyo ni Ejay Falcon bilang lingkod bayan. Babalik po tayo bilang pribadong mamamayan pero andun pa rin ang ating pagtulong para sa interes ng ating mamamayan.” (Rest assured that Ejay Falcon’s service as a public servant does not end here.

Congratulations po! Nawa po ang pagkapanalo nyo’y magbigay ng mas maalab na inspirasyon para lalong tulungan hindi lamang po ang mga taong sumuporta sa inyo kundi ang buong mindoreños ng segunda distrito.” (I would also like to extend my congratulations to Congressman Boy PA Umali.

Di ko po kayo makakalimutan.” (To all my friends, supporters, leaders, and those who were not afraid or hesitant to help me, the word thank you is not enough. I will not forget you.)

Ejay’s concession marks the conclusion of a hard-fought electoral campaign, where he aimed to transition from his role as Vice Governor to representing the 2nd District in Congress.

Ejay Falcon is a Pinoy-French actor, endorser, and model. He was born on November 21, 1989. In 2008, he joined and emerged as the “Big Winner” of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus, besting his close rival, Robi Domingo, by a small margin to win the P1.5 million prize. He ran for politics for the first time and became the vice governor of Oriental Mindoro.

Last year, Ejay’s dream of finishing college and having a degree came to fruition as he stepped on stage to get his diploma. In a video shared by the Philippine Star, Ejay can be seen wearing a toga and confidently climbing up the stairs where he was handed his Bachelor’s Degree diploma. In a statement, the actor said he still can’t believe he was able to graduate at last. The actor rose to prominence after being declared as the winner in Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus in 2008.

Previously, he also took to Facebook and expressed his thoughts on the names of the typhoons that hit the Philippines. The first one was "Egay," and the next is "Falcon." When one looks at the name of Ejay, one could see that his first name, "Ejay" is very much similar to "Egay" while his family name is exactly like that of the typhoon. He said in his comment that he is in no way related to the said typhoons.
