Bartolome Constancia Cabangbang (23 October 1917 – 12 September 1985) was a Filipino soldier, war hero and politician who served as a member of the Philippine House of Representatives on behalf of the province of Bohol.

In 1936, he entered the newly-established Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in Baguio to pursue a free college education, and was among the members of its pioneer class in 1940.

[3] He returned to the Philippines via submarine in July 1944 and was dispatched to the eastern seaboard of Luzon, where he joined the Bulacan Military Area guerrilla unit led by Captain Alejo Santos.

[4] Cabangbang started his civilian career as deputy head of the Civil Aviation Administration and operations manager of Manila International Airport, then located in Nichols Field.

[1] Cabangbang then entered private business and with the help of a PMA classmate, set up an airline company that smuggled high-duty items to the Philippines.

As Chairman of the House Defense Committee, he announced the discovery of a planned coup d'état against President Garcia by military officers associated with his predecessor, Ramon Magsaysay, in 1958.

The incident led to the removal of Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Alfonso Arellano and Defense Secretary Jesus Vargas, who was replaced by Cabangbang's guerrilla comrade Alejo Santos.

[1] In 1978, Cabangbang was elected to the Interim Batasang Pambansa as a candidate of the opposition Pusyon Bisaya, which swept all 13 seats reserved for Region VII (Central Visayas).

[8] After his loss, Cabangbang continued to advocate for Philippine admission into the Union, reviving the Statehood USA Movement following the assassination of Ninoy Aquino in 1983 and claiming to have regained 5,000 members while setting up chapters in eight U.S.

Despite his opposition to Marcos, he was given a state funeral at Armed Forces of the Philippines headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City, which was arranged by his classmates at the PMA.
