Eddie Villanueva's Personal Background

Eduardo "Eddie" Villanueva, founder of Jesus is Lord Movement, was born in Bocaue, Bulacan, on October 6, 1946. He is married to Adoracion "Dory" Villanueva and they have four children. His eldest son, Eduardo Jr. lost when he ran for mayor in his hometown of Bocaue, Bulacan in 2004. His other son Joel is a congressman.

In 1969, he graduated with a degree in Commerce, majoring in Economics, from the Philippine College of Commerce, which has since been renamed as the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

He took up law at the University of the Philippines but "was sidelined by activism and never had time to take the bar [examination]."

He worked as a full-time faculty member in the Economics and Finance Department of PCC until 1972. He then worked as the export manager of Maran Export Industries in 1973 and from 1976 to 1977, he was the general manager of the Agape Trading Co. He returned to PUP in 1978 as a part-time professor.
