Florentino D. Tecson (March 16, 1906 – September 11, 1962) was a Filipino Visayan lawyer, politician, editor, writer, and labor leader from Cebu, Philippines.
He edited pre-war Cebuano periodicals such as Bag-ong Kusog and published his own newspaper, Ang Mamumuo, and a book of fiction, Lingawon Ko Ikaw.
[4] He also won first prize in a literary contest by Bisaya magazine for his short story, Mga Kasingkasing Dagku (Magnificent Heart).
While he criticized figures of society such as landlords, spouse, and politicians for their excess, absence or abuse, he lent the narrative with humor and depicted the poor in sympathetic light without being anti-capitalist.
[8] On July 17, 1943, in the midst of World War II, he again was appointed and served in the same post as Member of the City Board of Cebu.
[9] After the war, he assumed the same position in the City Board together with Honorata Hermosisima, Cecilio de la Victoria, Florencio Urot, Juan Zamora, Ramon Abellanosa, Numeriano Estenzo, and Alfonso Frias.
