From a family jeepney shop in Las Piñas to hydrogen-powered vehicles and relief programs in communities across the country, I build ways to turn Filipino ingenuity into jobs, opportunity and national pride.
Where I stand
Six commitments guide my work — in business, in service and in public life.
A federal structure and a parliamentary system — government that responds faster, from the barangay up.

Read more 04National industrialization and 100% employment, so no Filipino has to leave their family to find work.
Read more 05Make starting a business simple. Teach people, guide them, then let them fly — and create jobs for others.
Read more 06Electric vehicles starting with public transport, solar and wind power, water security and smarter waste management.

The best and fastest way to live that life is through service, and paying it forward so others can do the same. That is the true spirit of Bayanihan.
