Francis Ng Tolentino (Tagalog pronunciation: [nɐŋ tolɛnˈtino], born January 2, 1960) is a Filipino politician and lawyer.

He is a member of the Aquila Legis, a fraternity exclusively based at the Ateneo de Manila School of Law.

Under his administration, he created the Tagaytay Office of Public Safety, which later became the basis of policies he put into force as chair of the MMDA.

Among the terms in the 15-page agreement were a 216-square-meter (2,330 sq ft) limitation on all outdoor signs and structures, with 30 percent of the space of ground level ads allotted "for landscape works or vertical gardens".

Prior to the signing of the document, no limit had been placed on the size of advertisements, such that a number of billboards as big as 1,000 square meters (11,000 sq ft) had been allowed.

The mere fact that they are reacting and behaving in that manner is a clear indication that our position is right, based on the might of international law.
