He was also concurrent technical assistant for operations under the Office of the Commissioner and attorney III of the BI Board of Special Inquiry.
Tansingco worked as Libanan’s chief of staff during the latter’s stint at the House of Representatives, representing the lone district of Eastern Samar from July 1998 to June 2007.
A certified public accountant, Tansingco was admitted to the Philippine bar in 1991.
