He started his publishing career in his father's newspaper chain TVT (Tribune - La Vanguardia - Taliba) before World War II.

Don Chino was arrested and jailed when Martial Law was imposed in 1972, together with Ninoy Aquino, Pepe Diokno, Lorenzo Tanada and other journalists. As soon as he was released, he took to the streets to openly protest the Marcos government. After the assassination of Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino in 1983, he further intensified his protest and during a vigil on Mendiola Bridge, Don Chino was drenched by water cannons. On October 15, 1985, Don Chino founded the Cory Aquino for President Movement (CAPM). It was launched in the National Press Club. He gathered over 1 Million Signatures to from all over the nation drafting Corazon Aquino to run against Marcos. After the EDSA revolution he returned to publishing, first joining forces with Geny Lopez in the Manila Chronicle, and then later once more the publisher of the family owned The Manila Times. On July 22, 1988, President Aquino conferred on him the Philippine Legion of Honor Award (degree of chief Commander) the highest honor the country can bestow to a civilian. --Wikipedia
