Chiz's Site

Since he became a lawmaker at a young age of 28, his agenda has always been focused on education, livelihood, affordable housing and accessible health service for the masses; progressive, safe and peaceful communities; competent, trustworthy and service-oriented local and national government.

It has also been his intention to give voice to the unheard Filipinos in the Senate in a fight for what is right and always against what is wrong. Now that he was elected to national office and given with enough trust by electing him as number 2 senator in the May 2007 elections even as a neophyte, he will be forever grateful and honored to stand at the pulpit always on the people’s behalf.

Francis Joseph Guevara Escudero or Chiz was born on October 10, 1969 to former Agriculture Secretary and now Representative of the First District of Sorsogon Salvador ‘Sonny’ H. Escudero III and educator Evelina B. Guevara.

Escudero went to the University of the Philippines Integrated School for both his Elementary and Secondary Education, and graduated in 1981 and 1985 respectively. He earned his bachelor's degree in political science in 1989 and in law at the same university’s College of Law in 1993. He later went to Georgetown University Law Center in Washington D.C. for his master’s degree in international and comparative law, graduating in 1996.

He served his first term in the 11th Congress in 1998 and Assistant Majority Floor Leader and Senior Deputy Majority Leader in the 12th Congress in 2001 and in the 13th Congress as House Minority Floor Leader.

Now that he is in the Senate, he chairs the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

Cool and confident, quick with his words, and unwavering in his commitments and conviction, Chiz at 37, is in his prime. If his political mentors rewarded him with a smile and a pat on the back for what he accomplished as a young man of 28, they now regard him with respect and value his professional advice.

Married to Christine Elizabeth R. Flores, they are blessed with their first-born, twins Maria Cecilia and Joaquin Cruz.
