biography

Agbayani, a son of the late long-time congressman and governor of Pangasinan Victor Aguedo Agbayani , completed his schooling at the Ateneo de Manila , studied civil engineering at the University of the Philippines and graduated with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. Civil Engineering) . He then completed postgraduate studies in business administration at the University of the Philippines and completed this with a Master's in Business Administration (MBA). After that he was a lecturer at Luzon College from 1982 to 1983 .

Between 1984 and 1986 he was a member of the House of Representatives (Batasang Pambansa) during the last two years of Ferdinand Marcos' office .

At the same time he was a lecturer at the Ateneo de Manila University from 1985 to 1993 and at Maryknoll College from 1988 to 1993 . He then was administrative assistant in the office of the governor of Pangasinan between 1993 and 1995.

After serving as Lieutenant Governor of Pangasinan from 1995 to 1998, he was the successor to Victor Orbos Governor of Pangasinan Province for three consecutive terms from 1998 to 2007. Between 1995 and 1998 he was also President of the League of Lieutenant Governors of the Philippines and, during his tenure as governor, was temporarily Deputy Secretary General of the League of Provinces of the Philippines . Since he could not run because of the term limit, his wife Jamie Eloise Agbayani stood in the 2007 elections for the office of governor, but was subject to the previous Congressman Amado Espino with around 33,000 votes difference.

In 2007 he was elected as a member of the LAKAS-CMD for constituency II (2nd District) of the Pangasinan Province as a member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines and thus Espino's successor. At this 14th Congress he was Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Primary Education and Culture. He was also a member of the committees on Agriculture and Food, Expropriations, Constitutional Amendments, Good Government and Public Accountability, Local Government, Statutes, and Suffrage and Suffrage Reforms, representing the parliamentary majority.

In the last congressional elections in 2010, the former police general Leopoldo N. Bataoil was elected MP for the 2nd congressional electoral district of Pangasinan, so that Agbayani left the House of Representatives. He himself ran again in the 2010 elections for governor of Pangasinan, but was clearly defeated by incumbent governor Amado Espino with a difference of almost 500,000 votes. The subsequent electoral protest by Agbayani was rejected by Espino as a “waste of time”.

Agbayani was a member of the Board of Governors of the Philippine Red Cross.
