Edelmiro Atega Amante Sr. (April 21, 1933 – March 10, 2013), was a Filipino politician.[1]
Early life and education
Amante was born in Butuan. He attended Ampayon Elementary School and then Mindanao Institute, where he graduated from high school as a salutatorian. He then studied at Silliman University, where he received an Associate in Arts degree in 1954, then a Bachelor of Laws in 1958.
Political career
Amante started his career as a barrio lieutenant in Ampayon, Butuan. He held that position for only one year, 1959, before becoming a Councilor from 1960 to 1964. He represented Agusan del Norte at the 1973 Constitutional Convention. He had also represented Agusan del Norte as an Assemblyman of the defunct Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1984. Since 1984, he was elected to four terms to the House of Representatives representing the 2nd District of Agusan del Norte. He was most recently elected in 2007, succeeding his daughter Angelica.
Amante was a close ally of President Fidel V. Ramos, under whose administration he served as the Executive Secretary from 1992 to 1993 when he decided to return to Congress through a special election, where he ran unopposed.[2][3] Prior to his death, he was a member of the KAMPI party.
