Jose Manuel Corrales Montalvan was a Filipino military officer, Dentist and Lawyer who fought in Mindanao during World War II.

Upon his return to his hometown in 1928, he practiced dentistry and became one of the first teachers of the Ateneo de Cagayan (present day Xavier University) and was its Commandant of the Corps of Cadets.

[2] Montalvan would become part of the United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) on September 6, 1941.

[2] In 2011, there was a proposal to rename Camp Evangelista after Montalvan in recognition of contribution to the Philippines' pushback against to the Japanese during the World War II.

The proposal's proponents believe that it is apt to rename the camp in honor of someone who is also a native of Cagayan de Oro.
