Marcelino "Marcy" Reyes Teodoro (born August 2, 1970) is a Filipino politician who has served as the 12th mayor of Marikina since 2016. A member of the United Nationalist Alliance, Teodoro previously served as the representative for Marikina's first congressional district from 2007 to 2016 and sat as a member of the Marikina Municipal Council from 1992 to 1998.
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. 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.
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.[2]
Teodoro was elected as a member of the Marikina Municipal Council in 1992 at the age of 21 under Lakas–NUCD.[3]
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. Ramos had personally approved of its creation.[5]
Teodoro would be reelected to two more terms, with his third term ending in 2001.
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.[6]
Teodoro was elected mayor of Marikina in 2016, defeating incumbent Mayor Del de Guzman. He was reelected in 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Teodoro's government was lauded for its response, which included the establishment of a testing facility for health workers and suspected patients.[7]
Teodoro is married to Marjorie Ann Ang, who has served as the representative for Marikina's first district since 2022.
In 1992, the Marikina Valley Heritage Foundation awarded Teodoro the "Katibayan ng Tanging Pagkilala" . Later, in 1998, the Roosevelt College System the awarded him the "Testimonial of Distinguished Service".[8]
