Quisumbing was the Liberal Party candidate for the mayoralty position of Mandaue City in the 2016 election, alongside Atty. Carlo Fortuna as his Vice Mayor. Rep. Quisumbing endorsed incumbent Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes to run as House Representative for the 6th district of Cebu. On October 12, 2015, Quisumbing, Fortuna, Cortes and their whole slate took their oaths as the representatives of the Liberal Party in Mandaue and the 6th District, respectively.

Elected as Mayor of Mandaue in 2016, Quisumbing committed himself to the platform of governance he announced during the campaign period of 2016. Quisumbing has formed his transition team that will identify the people to fill-up key positions in the City Hall for the next three years under his leadership.

Quisumbing lost his re-election bid to Jonas Cortes in 2019.
