Congressman Rodolfo G. Valencia (RGV)
The honorable Congressman Rodolfo G.Valencia from the 1st District of Oriental Mindoro will always be known as the as the Father of RESA (Real Estate Service Act or RA 9646).

His efforts finally paid off when the Real Estate Service Act was signed into a law in 2009. Real Estate Service Practitioners will always be indebted to him for this law.
