GOV. AURELIO M. UMALI

Man For All Season

          Atty. Aurelio “Oyie” M. Umali won over his political opponent that had been in power for the last 40 years. The election and the final count, though, were just icing in the cake. Even before the election fever started, Novo Ecijanos had predicted Oyie Umali’s victory during the recent polls basing their forecast on his congressional win six years earlier where he handily won over his closest rival, now Vice Governor Edward Joson.

          For all his political successes, not many Novo Ecijanos truly know Governor Aurelio “Oyie” Umali. He won twice as congressman with a mandate not ever enjoyed by any congressmen before him. His debut in politics in 2001 where he defeated Edward Joson is widely seen as a political phenomenon in Nueva Ecija.

          In Congress, he distinguished himself as one of the 30 outstanding new congressional representatives of the 12th Congress on the basis of quality and quantity of proposed bills; participation and attendance in plenary sessions and committee deliberations; advocacies on issues that impact on the daily lives of the Filipino people; and services rendered to his congressional district.

          He had been delegate for three consecutives years, 2001, 2002, and 2003 to the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Organization (AIPO) in Bangkok, Thailand; Hanoi in Vietnam and Jakarta, Indonesia.

          During the 13th Congress, on his second term as Congressman, now Gov. Oyie, was a member of the powerful Commission on Appointments, Senior Vice-Chairman on Telecommunications and member of the following committees: Games and Amusement, Dangerous Drugs, Franchise, Justice, Tourism, Local Government, Banks and Intermediaries, Ways and Means, Bases Conversion and Higher Education.

          He was also the Chairman of the Central Luzon Congressional Caucus and Party Whip Representative of Lakas-CMD in Region III. He is currently the Chairman of Lakas-CMD in Nueva Ecija.

          Prior to his entry in politics in 2001, Gov. Oyie served as Deputy Commissioner of the National Telecommunications Commission. Prior to that he was Procurement and Sub-Contract Director of Lucent Technologies.

          Gov. Umali obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree at San Beda College in Manila. He has a Master in Business Administration from De La Salle University.

          He is married to Congresswoman Czarina Domingo Umali, fondly called Cong. Cherry, with whom he has four kids Gabrielle Lois, Patricia Marie, Allesandra Maxine and Anya Mikaela.
