Director Jimmy began his career as a legal  practitioner and has had a successful run in private practice. Despite a robust clientele, Director Jimmy has often heeded the call to public service whenever the opportunity comes knocking at his door.   His journey into government includes stints in the Metro Manila Development Authority (as General Manager), the Commission on Elections (as Head Executive Assistant, Office of the Chairman), and the Social Housing Finance Corporation (as a member of the Board of Directors).

Just recently, he was designated by the Province of Rizal for another term as an Alternate Representative in the Board of Directors of the Laguna Lake Development Authority, to which he agreed to serve anew “in gratis“  to pursue his environmental advocacies.

Over the course of more than three decades as a lawyer,  Director Jimmy has gained profound and considerable work experience excelling in areas as diverse as the Philippine electoral system, environmental protection and preservation, socialized housing, as well as urban planning and development. The breadth of his knowledge in law and procedure, in addition to his ability to decide swiftly and strategically on key and important issues,  proves him to be a valuable asset to DBP.
