Marcelino "Marcy" Reyes Teodoro (born August 2, 1970) is a Filipino politician who has served as the representative for Marikina's first district since 2025. A member of the National Unity Party, he previously held the seat from 2007 to 2016 and served as the mayor of Marikina from 2016 to 2025. Educated in philosophy at the University of the Philippines Diliman, Teodoro entered politics in 1992 after being elected to the Marikina Municipal Council (later the Marikina City Council) at the age of 21. In 2000, he established a publishing house with writer Michael M. Coroza. He first became a member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines in 2007 and served until 2016, when he ran for mayor of Marikina and defeated incumbent mayor Del de Guzman. During his mayoralty, he oversaw the local government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the aftermath of Typhoon Ulysses, both of which were received favorably in the media. In March 2025, during his final term, the Office of the Ombudsman suspended Teodoro and members of his administration for six months in response to allegations of misusing PhilHealth funds. Although he later won a decisive victory in that year's congressional election, his proclamation remained suspended until July 1, 2025, when the Commission on Elections reversed a division's earlier decision to cancel his candidacy over a residency dispute.
