Political career

In 2001, he became the chief of staff of then Senator and former First Lady Luisa Pimentel-Estrada, wife of former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada and spokesperson of Puwersa ng Masa before running for Congress in a controversial 2004 election. During the campaign, he was upset by Governor Erineo "Ayong" Maliksi, who was a fellow member of Partido Magdalo, because of his support of then mayor of Silang, Cavite Ruben Madlangsakay, who ran as independent for congressman. He won as congressman in the district more than two years after the death of his predecessor, Napoleon R. Beratio.

In 2007, he won for the second term as congressman against then Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Manny De Castro, also from Silang. De Castro would lose another election in the newly-created 5th District of Cavite after was lost by Carmona Mayor Roy Loyola.

In 2009, he among with fellow representatives of Cavite -- Joseph Emilio Abaya and Elpidio Barzaga, Jr. -- authored the biggest congressional reapportionment in the history of the Philippines by passing Republic Act No. 9727, unofficially titled The Cavite Congressional Reapportionment Act of 2009, bringing the representatives of Cavite from three to seven.

In the recent election, also, he defeated Tagaytay City Councilor Laureano Mendoza to claim his third consecutive term and first under the new district.

On July 26, 2010, he became one of six Deputy Speakers of the House of Representatives under the speakership of Feliciano "Sonny" Belmonte, Jr.
