Former singer-songwriter-turned-lawyer Jimmy Bondoc will marry fellow lawyer Isabel Torrijos in February 2025.
Their relationship began in law school, which Isabel credits as the foundation of their bond. While preparing for their wedding, Isabel is also supporting Bondoc’s senatorial campaign.
Bondoc, a graduate of Ateneo de Manila University and the University of the East, served as PAGCOR’s assistant vice president for Entertainment (2016), vice president for Corporate Social Responsibility (2017-2021), and a board member in 2021.
Their wedding will feature notable principal sponsors, including former President Duterte.
Though less active in music, Bondoc still boasts over 700,000 monthly Spotify listeners, with hits like “Let Me Be the One” and “I Believe” continuing to thrive. Now running under Duterte’s PDP-Laban party in 2025, Bondoc’s platform focuses on eradicating corruption, poverty alleviation, and elevating the entertainment industry.
“My dream is to see a progressive Philippines,” Bondoc said. “If corruption will be curtailed, our country will be more successful… Corruption is the enemy of progress, and I will dedicate my life to ending it.”
Bondoc also highlighted his plans to empower the entertainment industry. “Music and entertainment are powerful tools for economic and cultural diplomacy,” he said. “Imagine Filipino musicians topping international charts or our films winning global awards. That’s not impossible as long as we get government support.”
From music to law, Bondoc remains committed to service. “This is not just about fame or fortune. Music has been given to me. This time, it’s about giving back. I want to make a real difference.”
