Political career

Jaworski began his political career as a councilor in the Municipality of San Juan in 1995, at the age of 23. In 1998, he served as Chief of Staff at the office of his father, Senator Jaworski, for six years.

In 2004, Jaworski was elected as congressman of the lone district of Pasig, defeating then-incumbent congressman Noel "Toti" Cariño, who would later become his party mate in 2006. In 2006, he filed a congressional resolution to investigate the alleged hurried demolition of shanty settlements ordered by Mayor Vicente Eusebio in connection in connection with the shabu market raid in Mapayapa Compound, Barangay Santo Tomas.[3][4] On December 12, 2006, he escaped injury alongside his brother Ryan and their driver after jumping out of their van, which exploded along C-5 Road.[5]

He ran for Mayor of Pasig in 2007 under the political party called Partido Pasigueño, but lost to the incumbent Mayor's son, 2nd district councilor Bobby Eusebio. The early part of the election vote tally showed Jaworski leading, but was overtaken by Eusebio. Jaworski later promised to file a protest against Eusebio.[6]

During his political hiatus, Jaworski focused on business, leading at least five firms in the hospitality, education and construction sectors.[7]

On September 23, 2021, Jaworski announced that he would be running for vice mayor of Pasig in 2022. He was invited as the running mate of Mayor Vico Sotto under Aksyon Demokratiko.[7][8] He won the vice mayoralty race in a landslide victory, defeating his two opponents.[9]
