Pablo Gomez Sarino (June 29, 1911 - December 23, 1987) was a Filipino politician who served as the municipal mayor of Bacoor, Cavite.
His father, Pedro Mariano Sarino, was a former municipal councilor and one of the founding members of the Pintong Bato Masonic Lodge No.
Then-councilor Sarino was already affiliated with Congressman Justiniano Montano and his son, Delfin, during the term of Cavite governor Dominador Camerino.
[5] The governor once tried to hunt down known supporters of the Montanos (Montanistas) and had his men converge onto the Sarino ancestral house in Mabolo, Bacoor, Cavite.
His preferred mode of transportation was to be driven simply by his brother, Vivencio G. Sarino, and he wielded no firearms except having a baton (batuta) kept in his trunk.
He once explained to his nephew, Wilfredo Sarino, of the reason for such a setup: "Wala naman akong kaaway" (I don't have any enemies).
His corruption-free stance was reflected on his personal policy in preventing even his closest relatives from hanging out in the municipal hall during his term.
An anecdote from his funeral in 1987 detailed his sister, Teofista G. Sarino, being confused on the venue of the memorial service, mistaking the old municipal hall as the current one.
[12] Mayor Sarino served until his removal after the EDSA People Power Revolution in 1986 as part of the nationwide transition to the Aquino Administration.
Mayor Pablo Gomez Sarino died on December 23, 1987, in Bacoor, Cavite, almost two years after ending his long career in public service.
He was laid to rest in the Familia Gomez-Sarino Mausoleum [16] in the Maliksi Municipal Cemetery of Bacoor, Cavite together with his parents and siblings.
