Signature

Marcelino "Marcy" Reyes Teodoro (born August 2, 1970), is a Filipino politician who is the 12th and incumbent Mayor of Marikina. Prior to his election as mayor, Teodoro served as the representative for Marikina's 1st congressional district from 2007 to 2016.

Early life

Teodoro was born on August 2, 1970, at a small clinic in Barangay Santa Elena, Marikina. He is the only child of Amado Teodoro, a government official, and Lydia Reyes, a teacher. He spent most his childhood with his maternal grandparents because both his parents were both busy with work. He completed his elementary education at San Roque Elementary School as a valedictorian in 1982 and secondary education at Marikina Institute of Science and Technology as salutatorian in 1986. 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 instead 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.^[1][2]

A day later, Teodoro authored a measure which provides for free public preschool education to all qualified children in order to promote quality education in all levels.

Teodoro was involved in the Billboard Regulation Act of 2007, which lists the prohibitions with regard to the installation of billboards and signage, to wit: a) those that obstruct the view of vehicular or pedestrian traffic; b) those on posts or walls that obstruct roadways and pedestrian lanes; c) those that take the space reserved for safety and informative road signs; d) those that block any rural or urban natural vista; among others.
