Born August 11, 1962 in Manila, Sarmiento is the son of Engineer Oscar Sarmiento and Teresita Sevilla.His great grandfather is Hugon Rosales who served as 1st Lt. of the First Battalion under General Vicente Lukban, and who later became mayor of Calbayog. Hugon’s brother, Honorio, served as chief justice and was member of the First Philippine Assembly. in different capacities—as congressman, governor, and senator.
Like then-Mayor Jesse Robredo, Mayor Mel was active with the League of Cities of the Philippines and became its Secretary General. “From where I stood, I think the secret of the two mayors is their leadership style,”back in 2015. “They both managed the LGU like a CEO of a company while at the same time involving as many stakeholders as possible. Mayor Mel always arrives at the city hall on time. On time for him means 30 minutes before everybody else does. Hence he has his own key to his office.
Like Mayor Jesse, Mayor Mel is also a “koboy” who is not fussy and would eat at nearby karinderyas in Calbayog. “You’d see him walk around the city conducting ocular inspections without bodyguards. And I think this made the people love him not as their elected official but the father of the city.”
Sabi ni Mar Roxas noon, “Mel is the best man for DILG”! Now Im pretty sure hes the best man for The Kris Aquino Lovelovelove 💛💗💛
