James L. Chiongbian the father of Roy Chiongbian who factually created Sarangani province by authoring Republic Act 7228. Roy Chiongbian served as the new province’s first congressman for nine years. He was succeeded by his son Erwin who had also served for additional nine years.

In 2007, he first ran for a congressional seat aligned with another political empire, Darlene Antonino-Custodio in General Santos City, his hometown. He failed to win in the election because of lack in political knowledge and ineffective campaign. Pacquio admitted that he lost big in campaign expenditure. Some noted instances are running away his money of those who volunteered to help for the campaign.
Manny claimed that this is his most satisfying win in his life. Certainly all his hard work was commendable; he got 80 percent of the total votes. It is approximately 90,000 votes out of 125,000 registered voters which made the boxing champ mathematically impossible to be defeated.
He promised to focus on the livelihood projects for his political plan aiming to alleviate the lives of those ordinary workers such as coconut farmers, tuna fishermen or laborers in Sarangani province, the hometown of his wife Jinkee.
