Raul Maravilla Gonzalez (December 3, 1930 – September 7, 2014) was the Chief Presidential Legal Counsel and was the Secretary of Justice of the Philippines.

He was the fourth child of Delfin Quimbiong Gonzalez (son of Leon Gonzalez and Felisa Quimbiong), the last mayor of the former town of Jaro in the province of Iloilo; and Maria Estrella Jover Maravilla (daughter of Tranquilino Maravilla and Consuelo Jover), a school teacher who were married on April 3, 1925, in Iloilo City.

Gonzalez fought the martial law regime of Ferdinand Marcos by filing several petitions before the Supreme Court when only a few dared.

[5][6] He denied that he asked the Supreme Court to lift his suspension but according to the decision, penned by Justice Campos[7] He was reinstated four years later, in 1993.

[citation needed] He also promised another cash incentives and free trip to Hong Kong if Iloilo City Council oppositionists Perla Zulueta and Lex Tupas were not to make it to the top 12 (which they did not).

[8][9] In a controversial statement made during the April 20, 2007 broadcast of a local news program, he stated that murdered American journalist Julia Campbell was partially to blame for her death.

Another son is the current president of the National Book Development Board, an organization committed to upgrade the publishing industry in the Philippines.
