Congressional career (2023–present)
2022 special election
On May 23, 2022, his father, Jesus Crispin, was offered the position of Secretary of Justice under the incoming administration of then-president-elect Bongbong Marcos.[4] He accepted the position, resigning his rights to the seat before his second consecutive term as a representative began in order to assume the office, thereby triggering a special election for his seat.[5] As the son of the previous congressman, the younger Remulla was seen as the favorite to win the election.

Remulla was sworn into office at the Batasang Pambansa Complex on February 28, three days following his election.[6][7] His brother, Francisco Gabriel "Abeng" Remulla, filled the seat he vacated in the Cavite Provincial Board.[8][9]
