In 1993, Teodoro sought to halt the logging reportedly being done for a realty firm in the mountains of neighboring San Mateo, Rizal, as he expressed fears that it could lead to flash floods in Marikina. [4] In the same year, Teodoro defended Mayor Bayani Fernando from comments made by Representative Romeo Candazo and other opposition councilors alleging that the newly established municipal radio station (DWPM) was operated illegally, arguing that President Fidel V.

In August 2024, civic leader and lecturer Sofronio "Toti" Dulay filed a technical malversation complaint against Teodoro and 3 other Marikina officials for allegedly misusing ₱130 million in PhilHealth funds allocated for health system enhancements under the Universal Health Care Act. [11]
