Lino Cayetano's Political Journey
In 2010, Lino Cayetano decided to enter politics. He ran and became the barangay captain of Fort Bonifacio. Later, in 2013, he was elected as a Congressman. He represented Taguig's 2nd District at the age of 36. He was part of the Nacionalista Party.
One of his first actions as Congressman was to propose the "Iskolar ng Bayan" bill. This bill was first put into action in Taguig City. It meant that all high school graduates who were in the Top 10 of their classes could automatically become scholars. This scholarship applied to state-owned universities, including the University of the Philippines.
Three years later, he planned to run for Congressman again. However, he decided to withdraw his candidacy. This allowed his sister, Pia, to run as his replacement.

These areas were recently transferred to Taguig from Makati. However, on October 30, his application to transfer his voter registration was rejected. The Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Taguig stated that he did not meet the residency requirements.
