Teresa Theodossis-Martin (3 April 1931 - 7 February 2014) or Tita de Villa, as most people know her, is a character actress from the Philippines. Her long acting career started in 1954 in a Sampaguita Pictures movie, Dalagang Ilocana (Ilocana Maiden), the movie which also catapulted the career of actress Gloria Romero into stardom. In the film, De Villa played a bit role of a lady boarder. Typecasted into playing antagonistic roles, De Villa is perhaps known for her portrayal of the scheming matriarch, Mena, in the highly successful Tagalog soap opera Gulong ng Palad in the late 1970s. She is married to Manuel Martin, known to most as the director Jose de Villa.
