 Nobody
knows Mindoro better than a Mindoreno himself.
Capitalizing on his home province's natural gifts and growing
commercial and industrial appeal, Congressman Rodolfo G. Valencia
(RGV) of Oriental Mindoro aggressively steers the tourism
and business potentials of Filipiniana Calapan Resort Hotel. As
chairman of this 4-star de-luxe hotel, RGV taps into the
reserves of nature, health and wellness among others, to meet
customer demands amid today's fast-paced, technology-driven lifestyle.
A realtor before entering the political arena, RGV started selling
real estate at age 16. From this launching pad, his career took
off in spectacular fashion, culminating in a TOYM award for the
field of human settlements in 1983.
Then politics beckoned. He gained a seat in Congress in 1987,
became Governor for nine years, went on a brief hiatus from politics,
then returned to the House of Congress to once again serve his
beloved island province.
