Political career
Makati City Council (2019–2025)

House of Representatives (2025–present)
2025 election
Luis Campos, Binay's husband and the incumbent representative of Makati's 2nd congressional district, was term-limited and ran for mayor of Makati.[1] Campos endorsed Almario for the district's House seat, and he defeated former councilor Vincent Sese by nearly 4,000 votes.
Tenure
During the 20th Congress, Almario principally authored House Bill No. 6882, which seeks to protect individuals' digital likenesses by preventing the unethical use of AI-generated content.[2] He is also one of the representatives who co-authored the Anti-Political Dynasty Act, which was approved by the House on third reading in June 2026.[3]
Almario, together with Makati's 1st district representative Monique Lagdameo, voted in favor of the second impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte on May 11, 2026.[4][5]
