Luis Miguel "Migz" Reyes Villafuerte III (born 21 January 1989) is a Filipino politician and model, who has been Governor of Camarines Sur since 2013.

He is from the Villafuerte clan; his grandfather, Luis Villafuerte, was a congressman from 2004 to 2013 and former governor of the same province from 1988 to 1992 and from 1995 to 2004. His father is Luis Raymond Villafuerte, who served as a governor from 2004 to 2013, while his paternal grandmother, Nelly Favis Villafuerte, is a former member of the Monetary Board.

He is sometimes mistaken for actor Kristofer Martin.

Political life

He was elected Governor of Camarines Sur in 2013, defeating his grandfather Luis. At the age of 24, he is the youngest elected governor in Philippine history, surpassing Mark Lapid. Along with Jolo Revilla (the current Vice-Governor of Cavite), Villafuerte is among the youngest politicians elected in the 2013 polls.[1] He was the only Villafuerte elected in 2013, since his grandparents and his father lost.
