Early Life and Education
[edit]Gutierrez was born on October 6, 1993, in Quezon City, Philippines. His father, Ramon Basil Gutierrez, is a businessman and owner of Alro Construction and Development Corp., a company that has secured contracts with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
He studied law at the University of the Philippines College of Law and earned his Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) degree. He later passed the Philippine Bar Examination, becoming a licensed lawyer.
Political Career
[edit]Gutierrez was elected to the House of Representatives in 2022, representing the 1-Rider Partylist, which advocates for the rights of motorcycle riders and road safety policies.
House Bill 3410 was one of the first bills he filed, proposing the creation of a National Traffic Enforcement and Management Center to oversee and organize traffic enforcers nationwide. He also proposed a **unified approach to traffic enforcement**, including clear road markings, accident notifications, and a streamlined vehicle registration system under the **No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP).**[3]
On international relations, Gutierrez has been vocal about the Philippines' stance on the West Philippine Sea. He criticized the Duterte administration for not taking a firmer stance on enforcing the 2016 South China Sea Arbitration ruling, stating that the Philippines should have reassessed its agreements with China regarding the Second Thomas Shoal.[4]
