Luis Crisologo Singson (born June 21, 1941), better known as Chavit Singson, is a Filipino politician. He was the Governor of the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines and the Deputy National Security Adviser for the Philippine government (2008).
He also ran under Team Unity for the Senate in the 2007 Elections in the Philippines but lost.
Chavit Singson was born on June 21, 1941 in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. He is second eldest among the seven children of José Singson and Caridad Crisólogo. He studied in Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Manila and finished his Commerce degree.
Both his paternal (Singson) and maternal (Crisologo) families have dominated the political environment of the Ilocos region for generations. Although many members of both families, such as Chavit are related to one another, the two families have shared a bitter feud which reached its apex in the 1960s and 1970s, when shootings and political intimidation were rampant in the Ilocos region. Chavit considered his uncle, Floro Crisologo as a mentor, but eventually had a severe falling out with his cousin and once-confidant Vincent Bingbong Crisologo who was Floro's son and there were many bloody encounters between the two. It is currently stated by both sides that tensions have eased. [1]
Singson started out as a businessman owning tobacco factories manufacturing and distributing Virginia tobacco, a bus transportation company named Partas, a construction company, a radio station, an ice plant, and a tomato paste plant. The companies Luis Chavit Singson owns are: LCS Group of Companies, Satrap Mining, Satrap Power Corporation, Partas Transport, Platinum Skies, Chavit Tree, Casha, Go Sport and Baluarte.
