List of mayors of Marikina


The mayor of Marikina is the head of the local government of Marikina, a highly urbanized city in Metro Manila, Philippines. The mayor oversees the implementation of city ordinances and the delivery of public services. As a chief executive from the region, the mayor also serves as a voting member of the Metro Manila Council.
Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the mayor is directly elected through popular vote for a term of three years. The mayor is limited to three terms but may pursue a succeeding term after a break of one term. In case of death, resignation, or incapacity, the vice mayor assumes the office. In all, 25 individuals have served as mayor of Marikina since 1867, including six acting mayors.
The incumbent mayor is Maan Teodoro, who was sworn in on June 30, 2025. She is serving her first term as the chief executive, having been elected in 2025. She is the second woman to hold the position, after Marides Fernando, who served from 2001 to 2010.

History

was founded as Jesus dela Peña by the Jesuits in 1630 and went on to be populated as a town. The Spanish [Colonial Era (Philippines)|Spanish colonial government] declared the locality a pueblo in 1787 and renamed it Mariquina. During the American occupation, the First Philippine Commission localized the municipality's name to "Marikina" and declared it a component of the newly formed province of Rizal.
In 1959, Osmundo de Guzman was elected mayor, beginning a 27-year-long mayoralty which went on to be the longest in Marikina's history. During his tenure, the municipality was incorporated into the National [Capital Region (Philippines)|National Capital Region] in 1975 through a presidential decree.
De Guzman's tenure ended in 1986, after President Corazon Aquino ordered all local government heads to resign from their posts as part of reorganization efforts following the People Power Revolution. Several caretakers then administered Marikina as officers-in-charge, including former mayor de Guzman, Guillermo Flores, Alfonso Salvador, and Rodolfo B. Valentino. Valentino himself would be elected mayor in 1988 before losing reelection in 1992 to Bayani Fernando. Cityhood efforts began during the Fernando mayoralty, during which he and Representative Romeo Candazo coordinated in successfully pursuing legislation calling for a cityhood plebiscite that voted in favor of converting Marikina into a highly urbanized city.
After Fernando left office, his wife, Marides, succeeded him, continuing many of his policies until her third term ended in 2010. Del de Guzman defeated their preferred candidate, Marion Andres, and went on to institute a "gentler" style of governance in contrast to their nearly two decades in office.
Marcelino Teodoro defeated de Guzman in his 2013 reelection campaign and went on to be reelected twice. 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 under his mayoralty. As a result, the Department of the Interior and Local Government appointed Rommel Acuña as acting mayor. Teodoro maintained his popularity during his suspension, which contributed to the election of his wife, Maan, as mayor.
