He has a penchant for making history and paving new paths for others to follow, with a string of record firsts tucked neatly under his professional belt.

His humble political beginnings as SK Chairman of Barangay Adrialuna in Naujan in 1992 paved the way to almost 3 decades of distinguished public service. He was elected SK Provincial Federation President in 1996, thus becoming an Ex-Officio Member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Oriental Mindoro.

Barely out of his teens, he displayed legislative brilliance when he authored the Revised 1997 SK Constitution and Bylaws of the Republic of the Philippines which was ratified unanimously through a referendum in July 1997.

In 2001, at the age of 24, he became the youngest Board Member ever to be elected in the province. A year later, he authored the 2002 Constitution and By-Laws of the National Movement of Young Legislators, which was ratified through a referendum in Cebu City.

In May 2010, at the age of 33, he made history when he became the youngest elected Vice Governor of Oriental Mindoro, then again in his second term bid in 2013, as the only Vice Governor of the province to run unopposed.

In the May 2016 elections, he garnered the most votes in the entire province across all elective provincial positions.
