Political career

After Marcos was ousted, Lina was appointed as acting Governor of Metro Manila, serving from 1986 to 1987.

During the canvassing of votes in the 1992 election, Lina was present with Ilocos Norte Rep. Roque Ablan Jr. as representatives of presidential candidate Imelda Marcos.[4]

From 1995 to 2001, he served as Governor of Laguna. He was also concurrently the National President of the League of Provinces of the Philippines from 1998 to 2001.[5] Months before the supposed end of his term as Laguna governor, he was then appointed in January 2001 by newly-installed President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as Secretary of the Interior and Local Government, serving until 2004.[1]

He is the current president of Manila Hotel.[6]
