He served his second term in 2013 after being re-elected to the same Congressional position. Quisumbing is a former member of One Cebu Party and was later sworn in as a member of the ruling Liberal Party in 2012.[2] In 2012, Quisumbing outlined his plans and goals for the 6th District of Cebu during a newspaper interview.[3]
Mayor of Mandaue
Quisumbing was the Liberal Party candidate for the mayoralty position of Mandaue City in the 2016 election, alongside Atty. Carlo Fortuna as his Vice Mayor.[4] Rep. Quisumbing endorsed incumbent Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes to run as House Representative for the 6th district of Cebu. On October 12, 2015, Quisumbing, Fortuna, Cortes and their whole slate took their oaths as the representatives of the Liberal Party in Mandaue and the 6th District, respectively.[4]
Elected as Mayor of Mandaue in 2016, Quisumbing committed himself to the platform of governance he announced during the campaign period of 2016.[5] Quisumbing has formed his transition team that will identify the people to fill-up key positions in the City Hall for the next three years under his leadership.[citation needed]
Quisumbing lost his re-election bid to Jonas Cortes in 2019.
Quisumbing is a relative of the Lopez-Romualdez[1] family. He is the grandson of Norberto B. Quisumbing Jr., the founder of Norkis Trading Company and Norkis Group of Companies.
Quisumbing married Maricar Hofileña on March 7, 2015 at the St. Joseph Parish in Mandaue City.[6]
