Romero Federico Saenz Quimbo (born December 12, 1969), better known as Miro Quimbo, is a Filipino politician who served as the representative for Marikina's 2nd congressional district from 2010 to 2019.

Quimbo spent the first two years of elementary school at the Sacred Heart College in Catbalogan, Samar. He transferred to the Marist School in Marikina where he eventually finished his elementary and secondary education.[citation needed]

He enrolled at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City for his undergraduate and law degrees. At UP, he was one of the most recognized and accomplished student leaders. He was a member of the UP Student Council for a number of years, captain of the UP Law Debate Team, and a member of the UP Alpha Sigma Fraternity.[citation needed]

He started his legal practice with the law firm of Poblador Bautista and Reyes, one of the noted litigation firms in the Philippines.[citation needed]

He would join the Pag-IBIG Fund in 2001 as its Deputy Chief Executive Officer. In 2002, he was appointed as head of the same agency until end of 2008. During that period, the Fund became the most profitable government corporation and was consistently listed in the top ten corporations in the Philippines. In 2008, the Pag-IBIG Fund was awarded the United Nations Scroll of Honour for its outstanding and innovative housing programs, a first for any Philippine government agency. That same year, the Fund was given an AAA corporate rating, a distinction given to a government corporation for the first time.[citation needed]
