Danilo Ramon Fernandez was born January 14,1966. He was the youngest of the four children of Edilberto Fernandez Sr.,who served as a councilor of Pagsanjan,and Teresita Fernandez. [2] He is related to Estanislao Fernandez,his paternal grandfather's first cousin who served as a lawmaker from Laguna,senator,and Supreme Court associate justice. [5]
He completed his elementary education at Francisco Benitez Memorial School in Pagsanjan,where he earned an honorable mention. He completed his secondary education at Pagsanjan Academy as a valedictorian. He was granted a college scholarship at the Centro Escolar University in Manila,where he completed doctor of optometry. He passed the optometry licensure examination in 1986. He then took up law at University of Santo Tomas but later dropped out to pursue an acting career. [5]
Dan Fernandez entered show business when he accepted an offer to become an actor in 1986,while he was working out at YMCA of Manila during his law school days. He was known for acting in Mara Clara:The Movie (1996),Balawis (1996),Cobra (1997),Boy Tapang (1999),Upak Gang (2015),and Honor Thy Father (2015). [5] [6]
After losing the 2004 gubernatorial elections,Fernandez decided to return to politics by running for representative of the first district of Laguna in 2007. He won the elections defeating Atty. Nereo Joaquin Jr.,the son of former Representatives Nereo and Uliran Joaquin. On November 20,2009,his election was annulled by the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal for failing to complete the two-year residency requirement prior to filing his 2007 candidacy but it was reversed by the Supreme Court on January 4,2010. [7] [8] [9]

Fernandez served on numerous committees as a member of the Philippine House of Representatives:
Fernandez ran for Mayor of Santa Rosa City in 2016. He won the elections,defeating two opponents and effectively switching places with Arlene Arcillas. However,in 2019,he decided not to seek re-election to seek a comeback to the Congress instead.
Fernandez was elected to his fourth term as Representative of the 1st District of Laguna,without having any opponents in 2019. He switched places with Arlene Arcillas once again. He was then named as one of the Deputy Speakers under the new Speakership of Alan Peter Cayetano. [10] He is one of the 70 congressmen who voted against the renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise. His vote of denial to his former home network's hopes of renewing its legislative franchise sparked controversy from both the entertainment industry and the social media,branding him as a "traitor".
Fernandez was removed as the Deputy Speaker on November 18,2020. [11] In January 2021,Fernandez is announced to be part of the new bloc "BTS sa Kongreso" (named after the K-pop boy band group BTS of South Korea),a coalition group formed by Alan Peter Cayetano during the 18th Congress. [12]
