Political career

Acting Governor

Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Ronaldo Puno swore in Adiong as acting governor of the ARMM in December 2009. As Vice Governor, Adiong moved up to replace Zaldy Ampatuan, who was taken into military custody for his alleged involvement in the November 2009 massacre of 57 civilians in Maguindanao.[2]

Congress

Adiong was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2013 elections.[3][4] He was reelected in 2016 and 2019.[5][6]

On May 11, 2017, Adiong, along with five other Liberal Party congressmen, transferred to PDP–Laban.[7] In the 2019 elections, Adiong ran under the Nacionalista Party.[8]

Adiong was elected chairman of the House Committee on Muslim Affairs of the 18th Congress.[9]
