Sherwin Ting Gatchalian (born April 6, 1974), commonly known as Win Gatchalian, is a Filipino politician and businessman. He was elected to the Philippine Senate in 2016. He was the representative of Valenzuela's first district from 2001 to 2004 and from 2013 to 2016; he also served as the city's mayor for three consecutive terms from 2004 to 2013.
Gatchalian was born on April 6, 1974, the eldest of four children of Chinese-Filipino business tycoon William Tiu Gatchalian and Dee Hua Ting. Gatchalian's siblings include Rexlon, Weslie and non-politician Kenneth. Gatchalian made public his high regard for his father as a model for hard work and perseverance.
His family has business interests in the plastic manufacturer Wellex Group and in Waterfront Hotels and Casinos.
Gatchalian is the first generation of politicians from his family. His other relatives serving in government include brother Rexlon, who was the representative for the first district of Valenzuela and later the city's mayor, and brother Weslie, who also held the same Lower House office.
Gatchalian has been a member of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) since joining politics in 2001. From March to May 2013, he went on a political hiatus from NPC when he became the deputy campaign manager for United Nationalist Alliance.
Gatchalian was first elected to the House of Representatives of the Philippines in 2001, at the time when Valenzuela's congressional representation was divided into two separate districts. He defeated the second district representative-elect Magtanggol Gunigundo's father in the race.
After then incumbent Valenzuela mayor Bobbit Carlos' term expiration in 2004, Gatchalian ran and won the mayoralty position for the first time, defeating Carlos' wife, Margarita.
