Fabian then took his elementary, high school and college education at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University.

During his term, he was elected as regional president for western Mindanao of the Vice-Mayors’ League of the Philippines, initiating the conduct of the passage of a resolution supporting the ‘Balikatan 02-01’, Joint RP-US Military Exercise (in battling the Abu Sayyaf and other terrorist groups in Western Mindanao) during the quarterly assembly of the National Vice-Mayors’ League of the Philippines.

Six months serving as acting mayor, Fabian ran for Congress representing the Lone District of Zamboanga City.

But the Adelante Zamboanga Party endorsed, with the initiative of Mayor Celso Lobregat, incumbent District I Representative Beng Climaco for the mayorship.

“I concede defeat and I would like to congratulate my dear friend Beng Climaco,” Fabian said in a press statement.
