Remulla engaged himself in the 1955 Gubernatorial elections with a lot more advantage than Epimaco Velasco. Gov. Remulla's party, partido Magdalo, is a cohesive organization having extensive control over the grassroot level. However, this cohesiveness was undermine by the party's failure to counteract the negative issues raised by FVR-sigaw ng Cavite party.
