Mauricio G. Domogan (born October 10, 1946) is a Filipino politician. A member of the Lakas Kampi CMD party, he has been elected to three terms as a Member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, representing the Lone District of Baguio City. He first won election to Congress in 2001, and was re-elected in 2004 and 2007. Prior to his election to Congress, Domogan served three terms as mayor of Baguio City from 1992 to 2001.
He reclaimed his mayoralty post in Baguio City after winning the 2010 elections.
Born on October 10, 1946 "Morris" is a true Cordilleran who traces his roots to the remote sitio of Bab-asig, Patiacan, Quirino (formerly Angaki), Ilocos Sur and within the boundaries of Besao, Mountain Province and Tubo, Abra.
Orphaned at an early age, Domogan and his sister Juana struggled to survive and overcome the hardship and many challenges during his youth. He hiked barefoot a two-kilometer trail to go to school everyday until he graduated at the Patiacan Elementary School in 1961. He did odd jobs at the Lepanto, Mankayan, Benguet. He became a rondalla band member, a utility aide and janitor to support himself in college. He finished Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Baguio (formerly Baguio Tech) in 1969 and Bachelor of Laws at the University of Cordilleras (formerly Baguio Colleges Foundation) in 1973. Remembered by his law professors as the student with a "splendid memory", Morris took and passed the Bar Examinations given in the same year of his graduation.
As a new lawyer, Atty. Mauricio G. Domogan embarked upon building a strong foundation in his law practice by working in defense of the rights of laborers. He worked as counsel for employees unions, such as the Lepanto Employees Union, the BPI Employees Union, the Baguio Country Club Employees Union, the Hyatt Terraces Employees Union, the Associated Labor Union, and the Pines Hotel Labor Union, among others. He rendered services as legal counsel to traders in the city market through the Domogan Law Office which he established.
Morris began his political career as a councilor of the City of Baguio from 1988 to 1992. Impressed by his humility, honesty, and genuine service, the people of Baguio elected him vice mayor in May 1992. But as destiny willed it, he never served as vice mayor. It is because 15 minutes after taking his oath as vice mayor, he took his oath as acting mayor. He served as acting mayor from July 1, 1992 to October 24, 1992, when he assumed as the real city mayor by virtue of the disqualification of then elected mayor Jun Labo, who was disqualified by the Supreme Court due to his being an Australian citizen.
