He finished his elementary and secondary education at Bohol Wisdom School. He took up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the University of San Carlos in 1995.

Political career

Aumentado became a kagawad, and then chairman of the Sangguniang Kabataan in 1996–2001. Aumentado wanted to run as board member in 2010 elections but his father didn't allow any of his children to enter politics.[1]

He served as chief of staff of his father until he was designated by the House of Representatives as the caretaker congressman of Bohol's second district to serve the remaining seven months left of his father's term in December 2012.[2]

On May 13, 2013, Aumentado won and elected as the new representative of the province's 2nd District. On May 9, 2016, he was re-elected for the second term. Like his father, Aumentado ran again for the third consecutive term and was re-elected on May 13, 2019.[3]

During the 17th and 18th Congress, Aumentado is the chairperson of the Philippine House Committee on Science and Technology[4] consisting of 29 members.
