Early life and education

Teodoro was born on August 2, 1970, in Santa Elena, Marikina, to Amado Teodoro, a government official, and Lydia Reyes, a teacher. Owing to the occupations of his parents, Teodoro spent most his childhood with his maternal grandparents. [3] He attended San Roque Elementary School and graduated as the valedictorian in 1982 and completed his secondary education at the Marikina Institute of Science and Technology as salutatorian in 1986. [3]

He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy at the University of the Philippines Diliman in 1990. The following semester after his graduation, at 19, he decided to delay law school and taught logic and social philosophy at the same university. He also attended graduate studies at the Ateneo de Manila University under the program of Master of Arts in Teaching Philosophy wherein he got a certificate course in 1997. [3]

Marikina City Council (1992–2001)

Teodoro was elected as a member of the Marikina Municipal Council in 1992 at the age of 21 under Lakas–NUCD. [3] [4]

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. [5] 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. Ramos had personally approved of its creation. [6]

Teodoro would be reelected to two more terms, with his third term ending in 2001. [4]

House of Representatives of the Philippines (2007–2016)

With the endorsement of Bayani and Marides Fernando, Teodoro ran for representative in the newly-created Marikina's first congressional district as an independent; he would win the election, serving until 2016. [7]

Mayor of Marikina (2016–present)

Teodoro was elected mayor of Marikina in 2016, defeating incumbent Mayor Del de Guzman. He was reelected in 2019 and in 2022. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Teodoro's administration was lauded for its response, which included in the establishment of a testing facility for health workers and suspected patients. [8]

In August 2021, a Marikina resident 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. [9]

Personal life

Teodoro is married to Marjorie Ann Ang, who has served as the representative for Marikina's first district since 2022. Together, they have two children – a daughter named Francesca Ysabela and a son named Francesco Raphael. [1] [2]
