Defining the News

Camarines Sur’s Fifth District Representative, Miguel Luis Villafuerte, fondly known as “Migz” to his constituents, is a young Filipino politician who has carved his path in the country’s political landscape. Many know him for his good looks and fairytale-like love story with Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters.

He comes from a family deeply involved in public service. He is the grandson of former governor and congressman Luis Villafuerte, and his father, Luis Raymund Villafuerte, also served as governor of Camarines Sur. The then-young Rep. Villafuerte saw his father’s efforts for the district as inspiring, and he felt it was his responsibility to continue his legacy–all while making a name for himself.

While in position, Rep. Villafuerte remains a shining example that age isn’t a limitation for someone like him who has innate leadership skills. Instead, he uses it to his advantage to connect with his constituents. For instance, Rep. Villafuerte leverages his social media presence to keep the public updated and share any progress regarding their welfare.

With his new mandate in the Lower Chamber, Rep. Villafuerte intends to fully use his political position to achieve genuine and lasting reforms, especially in his beloved Rinconada District. His priority legislative concerns include the following: social justice, education, sports, good governance, environmental protection, strengthening community resilience, and accelerating digitalization in the country.

Just recently, two more of his principally authored bills became enacted laws. These are Republic Act 11982 or the Amendments to the Centenarians Act of 2016, which grants benefits to octogenarians and nonagenarians, and Republic Act 11981: RA 11981, or the Tatak Pinoy Act. Some notable recognitions came from the RP-Mission and Development Foundation Inc. and its surveys. It began with him being the 3rd Top Performing Congressman in Region V from November to December 2022, then followed in 2023 with acknowledgments as 2nd Top Performing Congressman in Region V and 4th Top Performing Neophyte Congressman in the Philippines from February to March 2023, and 4th Top Performing Congressman in Bicol Region from June 25 to July 5, 2023.
