Amando Maglalang Tetangco, Jr. (born November 14, 1952) is the third and incumbent Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). He is the first BSP governor to serve two terms, having been first appointed to the office by Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in July 2005, and reappointed in 2011 by President Benigno Aquino III to serve another six-year term. On 22 November 2016 the Philippine finance secratary announced that President Rodrigo Duterte selected Amando Tetangco, Jr. to serve an unprecedented third term beyond July 2017, regardless of the legal impediment of up to two terms of office.
Born on November 14, 1952 to Amando, Sr. and the former Teodora Maglalang, Tetangco finished elementary and high school at the Don Bosco Academy in Pampanga. He went on to pursue his AB Economics degree at the Ateneo de Manila University, where he graduated cum laude; he also took up graduate courses in business administration in the same institution. Later on, as a scholar of the then Central Bank of the Philippines, Tetangco completed his MA in Public Policy and Administration (concentration in Development Economics) at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, United States.
Tetangco is married to Elvira Ma. Plana, with whom he has three children: a son and two daughters. He is an avid shooter and golfer.
Before joining the BSP in 1974, Tetangco was connected to the management services division of the accounting firm Sycip Gorres Velayo & Co.
A career central banker, he has occupied different positions in the organization in a span of over three decades. Immediately prior to his appointment as BSP Governor, he was Deputy Governor in-charge of the Banking Services Sector, Economic Research and Treasury.
