A self-made man who worked himself through school. He was a police officer at the Western Police District ("Manila's Finest) while pursuing Bachelor of Laws at the University of the Philippines. After graduating in 1970, he joined a maritime and admiralty law firm solely representing P & I Clubs in the Philippines at that time. Together with other promising young lawyers in that firm, Atty. Pete eventually ventured on establishing his own firm, and steadily built his impeccable reputation as a prominent international maritime and admiralty lawyer in representing top marine insurance companies in the Philippines. His sharp negotiating skills gained Atty. Pete's reputation for settling cases. He handles complex high conflict cases with uncanny talent and ease. On 15 July 1985, Atty. Pete found Linsangan Law Office and worked his way to the top in representing plaintiffs in cargo claims; and seafarers and their families in crew claims. After Atty. Gerry and Atty. Glen joined the firm in 1993 and 1997, respectively, they launched Linsangan Linsangan & Linsangan Law Offices as it is known today. On 18 January 2003, Atty. Pete formally inaugurated the Linsangan Admiralty Building as a testimony to his continued success in his law practice. Aside from providing free legal assistance at the office for walk-in and calling claimants, Atty. Pete embarked on radio broadcasting in 1997 to help more Filipinos in need of legal advice and assistance through the program entitled "Punto Por Punto" hosted by Mr. Jun Obrero of DWBL (1242 AM). In 2005, Atty. Pete launched another one-hour radio program with the same goal but this time captioned "Sagot Ka Ni Atty. Linsangan" heard every Saturday at 11:00 in the morning over DZAR (1026 AM). Mr. Tony Cuevas was designated as anchorman. Our Atty. Gerry and other associate lawyers take turns in co-hosting the said radio program. Atty. Pete also publishes a weekly newspaper article entitled "Maritime Law" wherein he discusses issues relevant to the rights and interests of Filipino seafarers and their families. His goal is to educate as many listeners and readers as possible to the end that no callous employer, person or entity may take undue advantage of their misfortune and measly knowledge of their legal rights. So that those who have less in life may have more in law.
