EXPLANATORY NOTE

Jaime Rocamora Gomez was born in January 1968 to a Filipina mother. His
grandmother was a Filipina, a pure Mandaya from Davao Oriental, who married a
Spanish citizen. They lived in the Philippines where they had seven (7) children,
all born in Davao Oriental. His mother migrated to Spain, where she met his father,
and lived there until his parents decided to return to the Philippines in 1976, when
he was eight (8) years old. He never left the Philippines since then. He is married
to a Filipina and has a daughter who is currently pursuing a medical career in
Davao. Having spent a total of forty three (43) years in the Philippines, he has
become fluent both in the Filipino and Visayan languages.

Mr. Gomez spent his school years from Grade 3 to high school and college at
the Ateneo de Davao University. In 1985, Gomez started working as a disc jockey
for the then popular station DXUM. This opened the doors for his career in
broadcasting - he worked for other networks and went from being program
director, to station manager, and regional manager. He then became active in the
Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), which allowed him not only to
represent the interests of the broadcast media in advancing the cause of a free and
responsible broadcast media, but also to serve the community through outreach
programs, medical missions, and information drives. Gomez also became a
nominee of the National Golden Dove Awards for his program that promoted
focusing on reporting only news that spoke of outstanding deeds and individuals
in the community.

Mr. Gomez is also a motorcycle enthusiast who was among the
incorporators, and later on the National President, of the National Federation of
Motorcycle Enthusiasts of the Philippines (NFMEP), which is now on its 25%
successful year promoting safety seminars and tourism in the country. He is also
active as a member of On Any Sunday Riders Club Davao, where he served as
President for five terms. Said non-profit organization spearheaded numerous
civic-oriented programs which includes the distribution of building materials and


relief goods to victims of typhoons Pablo in December 2012 and Yolanda in
November 2013, as well as medical caravan in the war-torn area of Marawi.

Gomez's personal crusade of reaching out to communities in need over
these past years evince his strong desire to be a Filipino citizen. He has
demonstrated that he is committed to the country and will remain to be so.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is hereby sought.
