Political career

He won his election in 2007 after defeating former Representative Gerardo Espina Sr., who had held the seat from 1995 to 2004, making him the very first representative of Biliran who did not belong to Espina political clan. He sought re-election in 2010 and 2013 but lost twice to Rogelio Espina. He ran under Lakas–Kampi and Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino, respectively.

Chong was a candidate for Senator of the Philippines in the 2019 Philippine general election, but lost.

Ambush

Chong's father, Charlie, was ambushed but not hurt, on the street fronting his Biliran house on June 7, 2008. His two bodyguards were killed while another was seriously wounded by four armed men, which included a policeman assigned to the Naval police headquarters who was arrested. Chong accused his family's political enemies for the attack, since his father filed a 2007 graft case against Biliran Gov. Rogelio Espina with the Ombudsman.

Richard "Red" Santillan, Chong's close aide, was ambushed in Cainta, Rizal on December 9, 2018. His body was recovered the following day. Thirty bullet holes were found in Chong's car, which Santillan was driving at the time of ambush. Santillan was with a female companion, who was also killed, in the car, wherein he was on the way to bring her home when the incident happened. Chong then is a vocal Smartmatic critic, having testified about electoral fraud in both Senate and House hearings. The Public Attorney's Office filed charges against the policemen who are believed involved. In 2019, the National Bureau of Investigation recommended murder charges against 22 policemen for the killing, saying that it was a rubout and not an encounter, as claimed by the police. Later that year, the Antipolo Regional Trial Court issued an arrest warrant for 20 police officers, each had charged with two counts of murder, with no bail recommended; twelve of them have been surrendered.
