Jose Zulueta

Jose Casten Zulueta (November 23, 1889 – December 6, 1972) was a Filipino lawyer and politician.

Zueleta in 1928 was elected to the House of Representatives of the Philippines on behalf of the 1st constituency of Iloilo.

After the establishment of the Philippine Republic in 1946, the Department of Interior was restored and Zulueta was appointed by President Manuel Roxas once again to head the agency until 1948.

Zulueta's term was marked by heightened tensions with the Hukbalahap movement, with Zulueta instituting a pass system that was required of Central Luzon residents wishing to travel outside their towns.

In 1946, Zulueta was elected as Speaker of the House of Representatives in the inaugural session of the Congress.

In November 1967, he began campaigning for the reelection of president Marcos in the 1969 presidential election.
