José María Clemente "Joey" Salceda (born October 26, 1961) is a Filipino politician and the current Representative of Albay's 2nd District in the Philippine House of Representatives. He previously served as governor of Albay province in the Philippines. Prior to that, he was a three-year term representative of the Third District of Albay and was appointed as Presidential Chief of Staff on February 10, 2007 after the resignation of Michael Defensor before he himself resigned on March 29, 2007 to pursue his gubernatorial bid in his province. He was member of the one of two dominant parties known as the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (Kampi), although it was known that he ran for governor and won as an independent in the 2007 elections. In 2010, he left Lakas-Kampi-CMD and joined the Liberal Party and became the party's Bicol regional chair.
In 2016, Salceda, who will run as Representative of the 2nd District of Albay in the elections, has decided to bolt out of the Liberal Party and resigned as the party's chairman for Bicol to support the presidential candidacy of Grace Poe.
Joey Salceda is the son of former Polangui, Albay Mayor Jesus Salceda, Sr. He has a brother named Jesus "Jesap" S. Salceda, Jr., who is the incumbent Board Member of the Provincial Government of Albay. He is single and he graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Management Engineering from the Ateneo de Manila University in 1982 (1981 in some sources) and received his master's degree in Business Management at the Asian Institute of Management. At the Ateneo de Manila University, former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was his economics professor while President Benigno Aquino III was his classmate.
