He is running for representative of the 6th District of Batangas, which comprises only the city itself, under the Nationalist People's Coalition. His wife, Bernadette Sabili is his party's nominee. This will be Sabili's third time that she will run in the elections. She first ran for Representative of the 4th District of Batangas, when Lipa is still part of that district, but was defeated by then-incumbent Mark Llandro Mendoza.
