In an exclusive interview with SunStar Pampanga last Wednesday, Baylon said that he will announce his plans when "he recieves a sign from God."
"Sa ngayon wala.pa ako plano kung tatakbo nga ako sa darating na election, dahil hinihintay ko pa ang 'sign' galing sa ating Panginoon kung ano ang balak niya para sa atin," Baylon said.
He said that one thing is for sure if he will return to public service, his constituents can be assured of clean, good and transparent governance .
"Napatunayan naman natin yan noon tayo ang nakaupo bilang mayor ng Candaba, naibigay natin ang mga programa at proyekto sa mga tao, walang corruption at pinagbawal natin ang mga masasamang bisyo," Baylon said.

“Dalawang linggo na kaming hindi makapalaot. Hindi kaya ng mga maliliit naming bangka ang malalakas na hampas ng alon na dulot ng walang patid na pagulan sa loob ng dalawang linggo. Marami sa mga mangingisda ang napupwersang maghanap ng ibang pagkakakitaan tulad ng pagsasaka na hindi rin naman sumasapat dahil maging ang kabukiran ay apektado rin ng malalakas na pag-ulan,” Roldan lamented. PAMALAKAYA and militant farmers’group Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) have been seeking a P15,000 production subsidy for the rural sectors to cushion the devastating socio-economic impacts of the pandemic.
The production subsidy proposal was already filed by the Makabayan bloc in the congress under House Bill 9192. “Ngayong mayroong mga mapaminsalang kalamidad sa gitna ng mapanalasa nang pandemya, mas lalo naming iginigiit sa pamahalaan ang agarang subsidyo sa produksyon na nararapat sa aming mga tinaguriang food security frontliners," Roldan said. "Dapat ay natuto na ang gobyerno na ang pagabandona sa mga lumilikha ng pagkain sa gitna ng isang krisis pangkalusugan ay magbubunga nang mas malaki pang krisis pang-ekonomya tulad ng malawakang kagutuman,” he added.
