Toby Tiangco
Tobias Reynald Tiangco (born November 21, 1967) is a Filipino businessman and politician currently serving as congressman for Navotas' lone district since 2022, a position he previously held from 2010 to 2019. He was also the Mayor of Navotas for multiple terms.
Tiangco was born into a middle-class family on November 21, 1967, in Manila. He is the son of Chinese mestizo Restituto B. Tiangco and Erlinda Marcelo de Tiangco. His father is a second cousin of the broadcaster Mel Tiangco. He helped his parents by working at the early age with his brother, John Rey.
Tiangco attended primary and secondary education at Xavier School in San Juan and later graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Management from Ateneo de Manila University in 1989.
He worked as the Assistant Operation Manager at the Engineering & Maintenance Department of Trans-Pacific Journey Fishing Corporation from 1991 to 1994 and was promoted to General Manager in 1994 and Executive Vice President in 1996. Tiangco also worked as the chief executive officer of Pacific Tomich Corporation.
Tiangco first sat as the vice mayor of the then-municipality of Navotas in early 1998. On June 30, 1998, Tiangco ascended as mayor due to an electoral protest against Mayor Cipriano Bautista but became vice-mayor again on February 1, 1999.
On May 12, 2000, Mayor Cipriano Bautista died, resulting in Tiangco's second accession as mayor until June 30, 2001. Tiangco ran for a fresh term with running mate Lutgardo Cruz, but Patrick Joseph Javier, an independent, won the vice-mayoral seat.
In 2004, Navotas was awarded as the “Cleanest Municipality of NCR”, and Tiangco remained mayor of Navotas until 2010. He also founded Partido Navoteño in the same year. He focused on the issues of garbage, and the beatification of Navotas City Hall. In 2007, Navotas was converted into a city, resulting in Tiangco becoming the first City Mayor. His brother John Rey succeeded him following the 2010 elections.
Tiangco ran for Congress unopposed and assumed office on June 30, 2010, as the first representative of Navotas's at-large congressional district. As congressman, he gave scholarships to 900 Navoteños, and ensured free medical treatment major hospitals with his Medical Assistance Ordinance. He also initiated subsidized housing projects in Barangay Tanza.
