Jaime Serrano Dávila was born on January 3, 1910, in the Navarro neighborhood of Gurabo. Proud to be a peasant by birth and the son of a humble family rich in the basic principles of honesty and Christian education, he held many positions within his political party and his community. In 1945 he was elected municipal assemblyman, and on January 10, 1952, he became mayor for the Popular Democratic Party, serving until 1972. Although he knew an arduous task awaited him, this did not stop his desire to lead his people to progress, and despite the low budget available to him at the time, he always tried to do the impossible to help his fellow townsfolk.
