Bojie Dy

Faustino "Bojie" De Guzman Dy III (born August 31, 1961) is a Filipino politician who has served as the 29th speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 2025. A member of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, he has served as a representative for Isabela's sixth district since 2025. He previously served as the 32nd governor of Isabela from 2010 to 2019 and as vice governor from 2019 to 2025. Born to a political family based in Isabela, Dy entered politics at the barangay level, holding various positions in Barangay District 1, Cauayan, Isabela, from 1980 to 1986 and from 1989 to 1992, when he assumed ex officio seats on the Cauayan municipal council and Isabela Provincial Board, respectively, before being appointed as the then-municipality's vice mayor in 1992. He succeeded his brother, Benjamin, as mayor of Cauayan in 1992 and held that role until 2001, when he was elected as the representative for Isabela's third district, a position he would hold until 2010. That year, he was elected governor of Isabela. During his governorship, he promoted policies related to agriculture and welfare. After leaving office in 2019, he served as vice governor under Governor Rodolfo Albano III, holding that role until 2025, when he successfully sought a return to Congress in Isabela's sixth district. Early in his second stint as representative, he was appointed deputy speaker. After the resignation of Speaker Martin Romualdez later that year, he was elected as speaker. As speaker, Dy has set regaining public trust in the lower chamber as a key agenda of his leadership of the chamber.
