In the 1949 elections, he was defeated by Primitivo Sato. However, Sato did not finish his term and was unseated as the House Electoral Tribunal ruled in favor of Maximino Noel's electoral protest[11] that was promulgated by Enrique Medina in Electoral Case No. 42 on November 22, 1952.[12]
He again won in the same elective post under Nacionalista Party and served from 1953 to 1965.[1][7] During his term in Congress, he was a member of the Commission on Appointments, Vice Chairman of the Committee on Internal Government and Privileges, and a member of the Committee on Accounts.[3]
