Teodoro "Teddyboy" Locsin Jr. PLH is a Philippine politician, lawyer, and former journalist who served as congressman for the 1st district of Makati from 2001 to 2010.[1] He currently does the editorial segment titled "Teditorial" for ANC's nightly newscast, The World Tonight.[2]

Early life

Locsin was born in Manila on November 13, 1948. His father was the prominent newspaperman and publisher Teodoro Locsin Sr.[1]

Supreme Court nominations

When Senior Associate Justice Leonardo Quisumbing retired from the Supreme Court in 2009, Locsin was among the candidates nominated by the Judicial and Bar Council as a potential replacement. However, he was not appointed to the said post.[3] In 2012, he was nominated as chief justice to replace Renato Corona[4] but the post eventually went to then-Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.

Personal life

Relationships

He is married to Ma. Lourdes Barcelon, who ran for Congress at the First District of Makati for the Liberal Party, but lost to outgoing Councilor Monique Yasmin Lagdameo of PDP-Laban. She ran for such post as her husband is ineligible to seek reelection after three consecutive terms of service.

He was formerly married to Philippine Stocks Exchange officer Vivian Yuchengco. They have two daughters, Margarita and Bianca.

Social media presence

He is described as "one of the most amusing online presences on Twitter".[5] In late March 2016, he was chastised by internet users over his comments on Twitter regarding the Tagalog language as he called it "a language inappropriate to pointed debate" during the Visayas leg of PiliPinas Debates 2016.[6] He later defended his prior comments concerning the use of Tagalog in debates.[7]
