Member of the House of Representatives and candidacy for the Senate

On February 28, 2009, Paez became a member of the House of Representatives for the first time as a representative of the Cooperative NATCCO Party (Coop-NATCCO) and has been a member of it ever since. In the elections of May 10, 2010 , he was elected after Jose Ping-ay on the party list of Coop-NATCCO, which received 944,864 votes (3.22 percent) and could thus have two MPs. In the elections on May 13, 2013, he was re-elected as the top candidate of the Coop-NATCCO party list, which this time received 642,005 votes (2.32 percent) and with him and Antonio Bravo again had two MPs. In the current, 2013-2016 permanent 16th Parliament he is the chairman of the parliamentary committee for the development of cooperatives ( Committee for Cooperatives Development ). This is responsible for all matters that are directly and fundamentally concerned with cooperatives and cooperative movements and organizations. It also deals with urban or rural loans, consumers, producers, marketing, services and other cooperative purposes. The committee is also responsible for electricity cooperatives within the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA ) and the implementation and amendment of the Cooperative Code of the Philippines .

Since Paez has reached the maximum consecutive eligibility of nine years, he will not be allowed to run again in the upcoming elections on May 9, 2016 , and will therefore leave the House of Representatives. Instead, he is applying for one of the twelve new seats to be elected in the 24-member Senate . He stands for Coop-NATCCO in the electoral alliance "Coalition of the Straight Path" ( Koalisyon ng Daang Matuwid ), which supports the presidential candidacy of Mar Roxas and the vice-presidential candidacy of Leni Robredo .
