Juan Miguel "Migz" Fernandez Zubiri (born April 13, 1969) is a Filipino businessman and politician who served three consecutive terms in the Philippine House of Representatives for the third district of Bukidnon and as a senator. In the Philippine Senate he became Senate Majority Leader, replacing Senator Francis Pangilinan, on November 17, 2008. He is the current vice chairman of the Philippine Red Cross.
Zubiri announced his resignation from the Senate on August 3, 2011, following allegations of poll fraud during the Senate elections of 2007. He is the first Philippine Senator to do so, since all historical resignations from the Senate prior to his resignation involved senators leaving to assume other positions in government.
Zubiri was born in Makati City, Philippines to a Negrense father, Jose Maria Rubin Zubiri, Jr. from Kabankalan City and a Bicolana mother, Maria Victoria Ocampo Fernandez of Libon, Albay who was raised in the province of Bukidnon in Mindanao. He speaks Cebuano, Tagalog, English, and his father's native Hiligaynon. His father Jose Maria is the incumbent Bukidnon provincial governor.
Zubiri finished elementary and high school in Colegio San Agustin-Makati. He graduated from the University of the Philippines Los Baños with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness Management. He also earned a Master of Environment and Natural Resources Management degree from the University of the Philippines Open University.
