Sergio Antonio Figueroa Apostol (born January 17, 1935) is a Filipino lawyer and politician who served as a Philippine representative in the Leyte's 2nd district from 1992 to 2001 and again from 2010 to 2016.
Biography
Apostol, a Roman Catholic, graduated from the Ateneo Law School and was a member of the Ateneo Law Journal. He passed the Philippine Bar exams in 1958, finishing 7th. He was the City Fiscal for Quezon City, Regional Trial Court Judge, Philippine Congressman for the 2nd District of Leyte, chairman and CEO of Philippine National Oil Company and Cabinet Secretary.
In 2008, Sergio Apostol was Chief Presidential Legal Counsel for Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. On October 8, 2008, Eduardo Ermita confirmed Apostol's resignation, effective October 30, to prepare for his candidacy, for Leyte congressional seat, in the 2010 Philippine general election. Apostol is a member of the board of Union Bank and the legal consultant of the SSS’ Social Security Commission (SSC).[1] After winning his district's seat as member of Lakas–CMD, Apostol switched allegiance to the Liberal Party of Benigno Aquino III, the winner of the 2010 presidential election.[2]
Controversy
As Arroyo's Presidential Legal Counsel, Apostol engineered the pardon of Joseph Estrada. The Gloria Macapagal Arroyo government thought of an amnesty for Estrada in hope of "reconciling with the opposition" and "unifying the country."[3][4]
