He enrolled at the University of the Philippines in Diliman for his undergraduate and law degrees. At the UP, he was one of the most recognized and accomplished student leaders. He was a member of the UP Student Council for a number of years and was captain of the UP Law Debate Team.
Miro Quimbo started his legal practice with the law firm of Poblador Bautista and Reyes, one of the noted litigation firms in the Philippines.
He would join the Pag-IBIG Fund in 2001 as its Deputy Chief Executive Officer. In 2002, he was appointed as head of the same agency until end of 2008.

In 2008, the Pag-IBIG Fund was awarded the United Nations Scroll of Honour for its outstanding and innovative housing programs, a first for any Philippine government agency. That same year, the Fund was given an AAA corporate rating, a distinction given to a government corporation for the first time.
