Tereso Mondigo Dosdos (October 15, 1892 – 1997) was a Filipino Visayan lawyer, judge, and legislator from Cebu, Philippines. He was considered the first Registrar of Deeds of the province of Cebu, its first Municipal Court Judge of Cebu, and first lawyer from Borbon, Cebu. He served as Member of the House of Representatives for Cebu's 6th District for two terms (1934–1935, 1938–1941).
Early life
Tereso M. Dosdos was born in the municipality of Borbon, Cebu on October 15, 1892 to the couple Crispin Dosdos and Ana Mondigo.[1] He attended Colegio de San Carlos and acquired his law degree from the Escuela de Derecho in Manila.[2] When he became a lawyer on September 26, 1921, he was considered the first lawyer from Borbon.[1] He married Filomena Mangubat from the Mangubat clan of Cebu,[3] and the couple had four children: Jorge, Luisa, Elena and Prescila.[4]
Career
Dosdos served as Registrar of Deeds of Cebu from 1925 to 1934,[4] becoming the first to hold such position.[2] He was the first Municipal Court Judge appointed for Cebu by then President Manuel L. Quezon.[4] and he was again given the same appointment on July 11, 1947 by President Manuel Roxas.[5] On March 29, 1946, he was appointed Second Deputy Commissioner of Immigration, ad interim, by then President Sergio Osmeña.[6]
A prominent official of the Nacionalista Party,[7] he was elected member of the 10th Philippine Legislature as representative of Cebu's old 1st legislative district from 1934–1935,[8][1] defeating Wenceslao Fernan, the father of Marcelo Briones Fernan.[2] The 1st district then was composed of the towns of Bogo, Borbon, Pilar, Catmon, Danao, San Francisco, Tabogon, Tudela, Poro and Sogod.[3]
Reelected to the same post in the 2nd National Assembly during the Commonwealth period, he served from January 24, 1939 to December 16, 1941.[8][1] His victory was considered his biggest political feat as he defeated former Senator Celestino Rodriguez, who was then a veteran in politics.[2]
