Political career

Jaworski began his political career as a councilor in the Municipality of San Juan in 1995, at the age of 23. In 1998, he served as Chief of Staff at the office of his father, Senator Jaworski, for six years.

In 2004, Jaworski was elected as congressman of the lone district of Pasig, defeating then-incumbent congressman Noel "Toti" Cariño, who would later become his party mate in 2006. In 2006, he filed a congressional resolution to investigate the alleged hurried demolition of shanty settlements ordered by Mayor Vicente Eusebio in connection with the shabu market raid in Mapayapa Compound, Barangay Santo Tomas.{{cite news|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/472/lawmaker-seeks-house-probe-on-shabu-colony-demolition/story/|title=Lawmaker seeks House probe on shabu colony demolition|work=GMA News|date=February 16, 2006|accessdate=June 11, 2022}}{{cite news|url=https://www.philstar.com/metro/2006/02/23/322849/war-pasig-eusebio-dodot-exchange-raps|title=War in Pasig: Eusebio, Dodot exchange raps

The early part of the election vote tally showed Jaworski leading, but was overtaken by Eusebio. Jaworski later promised to file a protest against Eusebio.{{cite news |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/73210/dodot-vows-raps-vs-slow-pasig-poll-execs/story/|title=Dodot vows raps vs 'slow' Pasig poll execs|work=GMA News|date=December 17, 2007|accessdate=July 14, 2020}}
