Federico Sandoval II

Philippines Congressman Federico "Ricky" Sandoval is in his third term of office, as a representative of the people of the City of Malabon and the Municipality of Navotas.

He was named one of the Ten Most Outstanding Congressmen of the 11th Congress by Graphic and Philippines Free Press magazines not only once but thrice.Fact|date=May 2007

Born in Navotas on 4 May 1963, Cong. Sandoval is the eldest of five children of Congressman Vicente "Brown" Sandoval of the First District of Palawan and his wife Fidela of the Soteco clan of Malabon and Navotas . He studied at Saint Jude Catholic School in Manila and later went abroad to earn an Engineering degree in Naval Architecture at the State University of New York in 1985.

After graduation, he was engaged in business enterprises like the Sandoval Shipyards, Inc. and Delsan Transport Lines, Inc. At the same time, he also continued his passion for the sea by being part of the Subic Centennial sailing team that won the grand slam of the Asian regattas in 1998. Fact|date=May 2007 He also became Commander of the 201st Squadron of the Philippine Auxiliary Coast Guard and served as Rear Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club.

In his first venture into public office, he was elected Congressman in the 1998 elections, besting old political hands in Malabon and Navotas. By becoming a member of the House, he and his father were the first ever father and son tandem to serve in Congress concurrently-- his father won his first reelection bid.

During his first term of office, Cong. Sandoval engaged in opposition against illegal gambling, which not only includes clandestine local operations of jueteng, but also government authorized national ventures like jai-alai and On-Line Bingo.

Cong. Sandoval has been instrumental in providing public works projects in his district like the creation of road dikes and drainage facilities, and the dredging of the Malabon and Navotas waterways to counter the perennial problem of floods. He also directed funds towards the improvement of roads and the construction and rehabilitation of school buildings for his constituents. He initiated various projects for the advancement of health and education, and established a scholarship fund for poor but deserving children in Malabon and Navotas.

Perhaps one of the greatest achievements of his congressional career was his successful effort to convert Malabon into a highly urbanized city with the passage of Republic Act 9019, the Charter of the City of Malabon, ratified on 22 April 2001 in the successful plebiscite among the people of Malabon.

He is now the current commodore of Subic Bay Yacht Club elected last 2007.
