Teodoro "Teddyboy" Lopez Locsin Jr. PLH is a Philippine politician, diplomat, lawyer, and former journalist who served as congressman for the 1st district of Makati from 2001 to 2010. He was the host of the editorial segment titled "Teditorial" for ANC's nightly newscast, The World Tonight and is the new Philippine Ambassador to the United Nations.
Locsin was born in Manila on November 13, 1948. His father was the prominent newspaperman and publisher Teodoro Locsin Sr. He studied in Ateneo de Manila University and got his Bachelor's degree
When Senior Associate Justice Leonardo Quisumbing retired from the Supreme Court in 2009, Locsin was among the candidates nominated by the Judicial and Bar Council as a potential replacement. However, he was not appointed to the said post. In 2012, he was nominated as chief justice to replace Renato Corona but the post eventually went to then-Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.
He is married to Ma. Lourdes Barcelon, who ran for Congress at the First District of Makati for the Liberal Party, but lost to outgoing Councilor Monique Yasmin Lagdameo of PDP-Laban. She ran for such post as her husband is ineligible to seek reelection after three consecutive terms of service.
He was formerly married to Philippine Stocks Exchange officer Vivian Yuchengco. They have two daughters, Margarita and Bianca.
He is described as "one of the most amusing online presences on Twitter", which is a rather amusing way to twist facts.
Locsin has found himself at the center of various controversial public statements via the social media platform Twitter.
