He became a public servant at the age of 22 years old. Being a public servant was not in his direction, instead he wanted to become a priest. But, the way to that ambition overturned and became a humble public servant. Being a son of a police officer and a public school teacher it came out to his mind that he would have to become a good pubic servant. With that he influence his parents that he would run to be a public servant. He won the seat for a barangay kagawad of barangay Puerto and eventually he became Punong barangay of barangay Puerto under the umbrella of Padayon Pilipino.
