Nancy Cuenco

Nancy Roa Cuenco is a Filipino zoologist and former politician. She served as Representative from the 2nd (South) District of Cebu City from 1998 to 2001.
Cuenco was born on January 14, 1941 to Benjamin Roa Sr. and Alicia Garde. She was married to former Cebu City 2nd district representative Antonio "Tony" Cuenco, with whom she has four children, namely former Cebu City 2nd (South) District Councilors James Anthony and Ronald, Antonio Jr., and Cynthia Cuenco-Dizon.
After her husband Antonio was term-limited after serving for three terms from 1987 to 1998, Cuenco succeeded him for a single three-year term in Congress, in line with a common practice by Filipino political dynasties of fielding "bench-warmer" relatives to temporarily occupy a term-limited member's position. In 2001, Antonio ran for his old post, serving for another three terms until 2010.
Cuenco's husband Antonio died on June 27, 2020 from COVID-19.
