Miguel Zubiri ( 2007 Political TV Ad )

After serving as chief of staff of his father, Rep. (now Bukidnon Governor) Jose Zubiri, Jr. from 1995-1998, he ran for the the post to be vacated by his father in the 1998 general elections. He won and was one of the youngest member of the 10th Congress. He was a member of the Spice Boys during his first term as a Congressman. He was also one of the first complainants of the Estrada impeachment case in 2000.[citation needed] He was re-elected to the Congress in the 2001 and 2004 elections.

After serving as Congressman for three-terms, he was drafted by Lakas CMD to be one of their representatives in the Unity Ticket being pushed by Malacanang in the 2007 mid-term elections.

In the final tally for the 2007 senatorial race by the Philippine Commission on Elections (Comelec), Rep. Zubiri narrowly edged out opposition candidate Aquilino Pimentel III for the 12th and last slot in the Senate. Zubiri had a total of 11,001,730 votes against Pimentel's 10,983,358 votes. The margin of some 18,372 votes was hotly contested, particularly the votes from the southern Philippine province of Maguindanao, where Pimentel had lost heavily to Zubiri.

Claiming the votes in Maguindanao were tainted, Pimentel petitioned the Philippine Supreme Court to issue a restraining order against the proclamation of Zubiri. After oral arguments however the vote on the petition was tied at 7-7 with the High Tribunal consequently failing to grant Pimentel's petition. The next day, July 14, 2007, Zubiri was duly proclaimed elected to the Philippine Senate.
