Gabriel Luis "Luigi" Romualdez Quisumbing (born July 12, 1979) is a Filipino politician, who served as Mayor of Mandaue from 2016 to 2019 and was the representative of the 6th district of Cebu from 2010 to 2016.
Quisumbing joined the political arena in 2004 as a Provincial Board Member in the Province of Cebu, representing the 6th District.[1] He later on moved to become the House Representative for the same district in 2010. He has since been re-elected to the same Congressional position in 2013, serving his second term. He is a former member of One Cebu Party and was later sworn in to be a member of the ruling Liberal Party in 2012.[2]
In 2012, Quisumbing laid bare his plans and goals for the 6th District of Cebu during a newspaper interview.[3] His 4-point agenda became the guiding principles of his vision for the District:
He was the candidate of the Liberal Party for the mayoralty position of Mandaue City in the 2016 election, together with 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. Quisumbing, Fortuna, Cortes and their whole slate took oath as the representatives of the Liberal Party in Mandaue and the 6th District respectively on October 12, 2015.
Having been elected as Mayor of Mandaue 2016, Quisumbing committed himself to the platform of governance he announced during the campaign period of 2016. 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.
He lost his re-election bid to Jonas Cortes in 2019.
Quisumbing is a relative of the Lopez-Romualdez family. He is the grandson of Norberto B. Quisumbing Jr., who started the large Norkis Trading Corp. and that of the Norkis Group of Companies.
Quisumbing married Maricar Hofileña on 7 March 2015 at the St. Joseph Parish in Mandaue City.[5]
