Respected for his populist platform, Leviste governed Batangas during an unprecedented twenty four years, winning six elections in the process. He was a member of the Nacionalista party.
Footnote 5 on page 135 in Richard Neely's How Courts Govern America recounts the author's brief experience living in the Governor's palace. He specifically recalls Leviste's policy of allowing underprivileged Batangueños to simply walk into the palace and have a free meal, typifying Leviste's populist platform.
