Matthew Joseph Marcos Manotoc[fn 1] (born December 9, 1988) is a Filipino politician and athlete from Ilocos Norte, Philippines.

Manotoc ran as a provincial board member representing the 2nd legislative district of Ilocos Norte in the 2016 Philippine local elections.

In 2022, Manotoc announced that Ilocos Norte's health system has received nearly ₱700 million that year as part of the Provincial Government's efforts to carry out its vision of a "healthier" province.

[13] Like in the COVID-19 situation, he ordered the provincial government to be on the ground immediately to contact trace and stem the infections caused by African Swine Fever.

He initiated the provision of relief packs for those who were affected, gave sprayers and disinfectants, facilitated their indemnifications or payouts, allotted budgets for those who were uninsured, and provided alternate livelihoods to secure the livestock sector.

[14] The Provincial Government launched "Agri ka Dito," a flagship program of the Office of the Governor that aims to sustain the activities for the livelihood of community farmers and fisherfolks by providing them with immediate assistance amid the skyrocketing cost of agriculture inputs.

[15] Meanwhile, at the height of the pandemic, the Provincial Board passed ordinances that provided Php 370 million in cash to Ilokanos who were most vulnerable in support of the Governor’s solution-based and people-centered response, in the form of cash-for-work, emergency livelihood assistance, "pay now, work later," interest-free loans, and skills training programs.

[19] Aside from granting public utility vehicle accident insurance policies, Manotoc distributed increased financial assistance to almost 4,000 drivers, on top of more than ₱40 million in cash aid in 2021 alone, to alleviate their situation and sustain their source of income during the global energy crisis.

[20] Several times, Manotoc led the "Bike-to-Work," a cycling activity that aims to encourage employees to embrace environmentally friendly and convenient alternative transportation.
