..Francis Joseph Guevara Escudero or Chiz was raised by parents who were both educators. His father, Salvador H. Escudero III, served twice as Department of Agriculture secretary.He earned his bachelor's degree in political science and in law at the University of the Philippines. He later went to Georgetown University Law Center in Washington for his master’s degree in international and comparative law.He served his first term in the 11th Congress in 1998 and Assistant Majority Floor Leader and Senior Deputy Majority Leader in the 12th Congress in 2001 and in the present 13th Congress as House Minority Floor Leader.Cool and confident, quick with his words, and unwavering in his commitments and conviction, Chiz at 37, is in his prime. If his political mentors rewarded him with a smile and a pat on the back for what he accomplished as a boy of 28, they now regard him with respect and value his professional advice.

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!"Every politician, whether he is senator or vice president, or a barangay captain dreams of becoming president one day. Otherwise, he would be lying to himself.""Ang kagandahan sa ambisyon, ito ay libre. Hindi mo kailangang bayaran. Managinip ka lang sarili mo na 'yon basta hindi ka nagnanakaw, hindi ka nagsisinungaling, wala kang inaapakan para marating 'yong ambisyon mo (The beauty of ambition is that it is free. You don't have to pay for it. You just dream about it and it's yours as long as you don't steal, you don't lie and you don't step on someone to reach your ambition),"
