A lawyer and educator, fondly called “Eddiegul” by Cebuanos, he was a towering figure in both politics and education.
The former leader of the Alayon Party, Eddiegul served as congressman for Cebu’s 1st District for seven terms from 1992 to 2001, 2004 to 2013, and 2019 to 2022 under alliances with the Nacionalista Party and One Cebu Party.
He was appointed governor of Cebu by former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. from 1976 to 1986, and later served as mayor of Talisay City from 2001 to 2004, and again from 2016 to 2019.
