Political career
[edit]PJ Malonzo was initially appointed as Caloocan City councilor by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on April 1, 2005 after the death of Councilor Eduardo "Popoy" Rosca two months prior.[2][3] The appointment pushback by city government officials who had intended to recommend Rosca's daughter Kristen Joy for the position.[3][4][5][6] By May 2005, the Caloocan Regional Trial Court Branch 131 issued a decision indefinitely barring Malonzo from taking the vacant council seat.[7]
Malonzo was elected councilor of Caloocan under the United Nationalist Alliance as part of the electoral team of Mayor Oscar Malapitan in 2016.[8][9]
On February 17, 2021, Mayor Malapitan filed a cyberlibel complaint against Malonzo and four other councilors due to their accusations that his government procured substandard digital tablets for schools.[10]
On September 20, 2021, Malonzo joined the Aksyon Demokratiko party alongside Congressman Edgar Erice and five other councilors.[11] In 2022, Malonzo attempted to run for vice mayor with mayoral aspirant Erice, but lost to fellow councilor Karina Teh-Limsico.[12][13]
On October 3, 2024, Malonzo filed his certificate of candidacy for Caloocan vice mayor, as the running mate of former senator Antonio Trillanes IV in the 2025 mayoral election.
