Background
Singson was born on June 1, 1980, in the province of Ilocos Sur in the Philippines.
Singson was first elected into politics as representative of the 1st district of Ilocos Sur through a special election in 2011, replacing his brother Ronald, who resigned after having been convicted of drug possession in Hong Kong. He chose not to seek re-election for Congress in 2013 as he chose to run instead for governor of Ilocos Sur; he was elected governor.
On July 24, 2016, during the election of officers of the provincial chief executives, Ryan Luis Singson was proclaimed as the new president of League of Provinces of the Philippines.[2]
After its presidential position in the League of Provinces of the Philippines for about three years, he was succeeded by Marinduque Governor Presbitero Velasco Jr. as the new president of the LPP and a former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.[3] He is one of the child brothers of former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singson, while his brother Ronald Singson is an incumbent member of House of Representatives of the Philippines.[4]
