Early years
Early life and education
Remulla was born on September 28, 1990, in the then-municipality of San Juan in Metro Manila. He is one of the sons of Jesus Crispin Remulla.[1] He studied Bachelor of Economics in Ateneo de Manila University and took up Bachelor of Laws in University of the Philippines Diliman.
Early political career
He entered politics in 2018 upon becoming a municipal councilor of Indang, Cavite, from 2018, serving until 2019, when he sought a seat in the Cavite Provincial Board.[2] He was elected, placing first out of four candidates.[3] He was re-elected in 2022.[4]
House of Representatives
Elections
On May 23, 2022, Remulla's father, Jesus Crispin, was offered the position of secretary of justice under the incoming administration of then-president-elect Bongbong Marcos.[5] He accepted the position, resigning his rights to the seat before his second consecutive term as a representative began to assume the office, triggering a special election for his seat.[6] As the son of the previous congressman, the younger Remulla was seen as the favorite to win the election. He went on to win, receiving 66.68% of the votes.
Remulla was re-elected to a full term in 2025, garnering 80.88% of the votes.[7]
Tenure
Remulla was sworn into office at the Batasang Pambansa Complex on February 28, 2023, three days following his election.[8][9] His brother, Abeng, filled the seat he vacated in the Cavite Provincial Board to finish his term that would expire on June 30, 2025.[10][11]
Personal life
Remulla is married to Georgia Parungao,[12] with whom he has two children.[9]
Like his father, grandfather and uncles, he is an active member of Upsilon Sigma Phi.
