Maximino Jaen Noel (May 29, 1879 – July 6, 1969) was a Filipino politician and the longest-serving congressman from Cebu, Philippines.

[6] He was considered the longest-serving Congressman due to the length of his tenure representing Cebu's old 3rd legislative district, which was composed then of the municipalities of Talisay, Minglanilla, Naga, San Fernando, and Carcar.

Scholars believed the hero, Amar, represented Rama and the villain Leon, the political rival Noel.

[8] The exhumation of the remains of Leon Kilat, who was betrayed and killed in Carcar at the height of the Philippine Revolution, was also made into a political issue during that election.

[9] Before World War II, he was one of the stockholders and original member of the Board of Directors of the now defunct National Rice and Corn Corporation by virtue of the executive order issued by then President Manuel L.
