Jaime Fresnedi
Jaime dela Rosa Fresnedi (born April 27, 1950), also known as Jimmy Fresnedi, is a Filipino politician, lawyer, and businessman currently serving as a member of the Philippine House of Representatives representing the lone district of Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, since 2022. He previously served as the mayor of Muntinlupa from 1998 to 2007 and from 2013 to 2022 and as vice mayor of Muntinlupa from 1987 to 1998.
Fresnedi was born on April 27, 1950, in Muntinlupa, which was then a municipality part of Rizal province. He is married to Loreta Obong, with whom he has a son named Joma and a grandson named Neo. They reside in the Villa Carolina subdivision in Tunasan, Muntinlupa.
Fresnedi also owns two Caltex gasoline stations in Muntinlupa.
Fresnedi entered politics in 1986 when he was appointed officer-in-charge of Muntinlupa, then a municipality, following the People Power Revolution that formed a new government under President Corazon Aquino. He served the role alongside lawyer, journalist, and businessman Ignacio Bunye. In 1988, Fresnedi and Bunye contested the first local election under the new Constitution of the Philippines, with the latter as mayor and the former as vice mayor. The tandem served three terms until 1998, three years after Muntinlupa was formally converted into a highly urbanized city and established its own legislative district in the Philippine House of Representatives for the 1998 election. On March 21, 1998, Bunye resigned as mayor, opting to run for the inaugural position while Fresnedi took his place, which prompted Fresnedi to run for mayor himself; both were successful.
During his first term as Mayor of Muntinlupa, Fresnedi established the regional offices of the Registry of Deeds (now the Land Registration Authority), the Land Transportation Office, and the National Bureau of Investigation.
Fresnedi won two re-election bids for mayor in 2001 and 2004. Under the Constitution, he was barred from seeking a fourth consecutive term; in 2007, his wife Loreta ran for the mayoral post, but she lost to Vice Mayor Aldrin San Pedro. When Fresnedi was eligible to run again for mayor in 2010, he ran again but also lost to San Pedro, who was in his second term as mayor. In 2013, Fresnedi contested San Pedro again and successfully defeated him by 4,280 votes.
In February 2015, Fresnedi presented a single-step transaction system for registering business licenses in Muntinlupa. He said the innovation aims to improve the city's economic growth and competitiveness in the business and economics sectors. The system was presented at the 2014 World Cities Summit in Singapore.
In 2019, the Bureau of Internal Revenue reported that Muntinlupa had the highest local revenue collection in Metro Manila, with ₱5.42 billion collected, ₱2.36 billion of which was corporate tax.
