According to a report, Girlie experienced her third miscarriage, which deeply saddened her and her husband.[4] They have four children: Emilio Ramon Ejercito IV (Eric), John Paul Ejercito (Jet), Jorge Antonio Genaro Ejercito (Jerico), and Maria Guadalupe Ejercito (Jhulia).[5]

Career

[edit]

Girlie was involved in the entertainment industry before switching to politics. She had a acting career under the name Maita Sanchez.[6] Her political career began with her election as mayor of Pagsanjan, a position she held for nine years until 2019.[6][7]

In the 2010 elections, she ran for mayor of Pagsanjan, Laguna, while her husband, ER Ejercito, ran for the gubernatorial seat of Laguna. Girlie entered the political scene as part of a broader trend of celebrities seeking local and national government positions.[8][9]

In 2013, Girlie faced scrutiny from the COMELEC regarding her campaign expenditures during her bid for a second term as mayor of Pagsanjan.[10] The campaign spending limit for mayoralty candidates in Pagsanjan, based on its voting population of 22,584, was set at ₱67,752. Girlie's Statement of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE) revealed that she spent a total of ₱80,160.31 during her campaign, exceeding the legal spending cap by ₱12,408.31.[10]

Following her term as mayor, she was elected vice mayor of Pagsanjan in May 2019.[7] In the May 2022 elections, she announced her candidacy for mayor of Pagsanjan once again and subsequently lost.[7][11][6]
