Lino Cayetano's Political Journey
In 2010, Lino Cayetano decided to enter politics. He became the barangay captain of Fort Bonifacio. In 2013, at 36 years old, he was elected as a Congressman. He represented Taguig's 2nd District under the Nacionalista Party.
One of his first actions as Congressman was to propose the "Iskolar ng Bayan" bill. This bill aimed to help students. It stated that all high school graduates who were in the Top 10 of their class would automatically become scholars. This meant they could study for free in state-owned universities, including the University of the Philippines. This program was first put into action in Taguig City.
In 2016, he planned to run for re-election as a representative. However, he decided to step aside for his sister, Pia. Pia then ran for the position and won.
In 2019, Lino Cayetano successfully ran for Mayor of Taguig. He took over from his sister-in-law, Lani Cayetano. He served one term as mayor and finished his term in 2022.
In 2024, he sought to become a representative again. He filed his candidacy to run for Taguig–Pateros's 1st District in the 2025 Philippine general election. One of his campaign promises was to create a third congressional district for Taguig. This new district would represent the Embo barangays, which had recently moved to Taguig from Makati. However, in October 2024, the Election Registration Board (ERB) of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Taguig rejected his and Fille Cayetano's request to transfer their voter registration to Taguig's 1st district. This was because they did not meet the residency rules. He ran under the BIDA TAYO ticket but lost the election to the current Representative Ricardo "Ading" Cruz Jr.
