Raised and educated in La Trinidad, Robert’s life in
public service began in 1996 with his appointment as Barangay Kagawad of
Poblacion, La Trinidad, Benguet. His leadership skills did not go unnoticed as
he was formally elected Barangay Kagawad the following year until he finally
became the Punong Barangay in July 2002, a position he currently holds on his
third and final term where he ran unopposed. As a public servant, his
commitment to anything and everything that concerns his constituents takes
most, if not all, of his time. He was at the forefront of the implementation of
various barangay programs, projects and activities such as infrastructure,
social services, peace and order, public health and nutrition, environmental
and religious concerns and other matters affecting his constituency. These
efforts earned him and Barangay Poblacion various recognitions and
commendations and became one of the progressive and developed urban barangays.
During his tenure as Punong Barangay, he received the
accolade as the Most Performing Barangay Captain in year 2006 awarded by the
Province of Benguet during the Benguet Foundation Day. In the same year, he was recognized as the
Barangay Captain of the Year by the Baguio Midland Courier. The same newspaper
also recognized him as the Barangay Kagawad of the Year in 2001.
As the Punong Barangay, he is also the Lupon Chairman of
the Lupong Tagapamayapa and under his leadership and supervision, the Lupong Tagapamayapa
of Barangay Poblacion earned recognitions when it became the National Awardee
of the Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentive Awards (LTIA) for two consecutive years,
in 2007 and 2008. They were also the
recipient of the regional and provincial level equivalent of said awards. In years when it did not receive the top
prize, the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Poblacion was consistently nominated as an
awardee. His familiarity in dealing with cases and disputes also earned him a
seat as a member of the People’s law Enforcement Board (PLEB) of the
Municipality of La Trinidad (2005-2007).
Robert is concurrently the President of the ABC or “Liga
ng mga Barangay” and as such, he is an Ex-officio member of the Sangguniang
Bayan of the municipality of La Trinidad.
Elected to the position twice and ran unopposed on his second and
current term as ABC President, he serves the municipality of La Trinidad with
all the powers, functions and responsibilities of a municipal councilor. He is also the Vice President of the ABC or
Liga ng mga Barangay in the provincial level.
As an active local legislator, he authored, co-authored and supported several
significant legislative measures, mostly focusing on the welfare of the barangays,
its workers and for the public as a whole.
Robert is active in different civic organizations such as
the Philippine Red Cross-Benguet Chapter where he is a current member of the
Board; the Multi-Sectoral Electrification Advisory Council (MSEAC),
BENECO-District 7 where he is the current Chairman. He is also a member of the Saleng Volunteer
Probation Aid, Department of Justice-Benguet Chapter; the Benguet Operators and

& Drivers Association (BODA); the Philippine Guardians Brotherhood, Inc.
(PGBI)/Guardians Centre Foundation Inc.(GCFI), Bayang Pino and Salad Bowl

The age-old phrase “Action speaks louder than words” best
exemplifies his performance as both a leader and a “doer”. His family and the
public are his priorities. Public service is his calling.
