Police career
[edit]Zubia graduated from the Philippine Military Academy in 1971 along with notable batchmates Panfilo Lacson, Gregorio Honasan and Edgar Aglipay. Zubia and Lacson later became colleagues at the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission.[1]
Zubia and Lacson among other personnel were involved in a shootout with 11 members of Kuratong Baleleng[2][3] but were subsequently acquitted by a lower court in November 2003 for lack of probable cause.[1][4] At that time of the incident, Zubia headed the Traffic Management Command (now known as Highway Patrol Group).[5]
Zubia served as chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) when Lacson was the Philippine National Police chief in the early 2000s.[6]
Political career
[edit]Zubia ran for mayor of Baler in 2013, but placed second against then-outgoing Vice Mayor Nelianto Bihasa in a 3-way race.[1]
