Vicente "Tingting" Ancheta dela Serna (September 13, 1951 – September 1, 2018) was a Filipino lawyer, politician, and legislator. He was Cebu's 6th district's representative to the 8th Congress of the Philippines (1987–1992) and the governor of the province of Cebu, Philippines from 1992 until 1995.[1]
Early life
The son of Manuel H.P. dela Serna and Leonora Low Ancheta, Vicente dela Serna was born in Butuan, Agusan del Norte on September 13, 1951. He later married Maria Dolores A. Bernad of Ozamiz, Misamis Occidental[1] and had three daughters and a son.[2]
Career
On May 8, 1980, he was admitted to the bar and became a lawyer.[1] He was known as an anti-Marcos activist in Cebu in the 1980s and later appointed in charge of the Office of the Mayor of Mandaue City when Corazon Aquino became president after the 1986 EDSA Revolution.
In 1987, he ran for a legislative seat and won as member of the 8th Congress of the Republic representing Cebu's 6th district.[3] He was chosen as the chairman of the House Committee on Civil, Political, and Human Rights.[1]
Then in 1992, he was elected as governor of Cebu province succeeding Emilio Osmeña and served until 1995.[3] It was during his term that the building of the Sugbo Cultural Center within the University of the Philippines Cebu Campus was started.[4] Additionally, he was credited for the Provincial Board Ordinance 93-1 that identified properties owned by the provincial government but were occupied by about 5,000 informal settlers of Cebu City. Negotiations for a land swap deal between the provincial and city governments that would allow the residents to own the lot by paying a monthly amortization commenced and lasted for over two decades. By August of 2018, the deal was finalized.[2]
When he ran to be reelected as governor for a second term, he was defeated and succeeded by Pablo P. Garcia.[1] During the administration of Joseph Estrada, Vicente dela Serna was appointed deputy executive secretary.[3]
Later years
In September, 2017, he was diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent chemotherapy.[2][5] He died succumbing to the disease[3] in Sto. Niño Village in Barangay Banilad, Cebu City,[6] at the age of 66 past midnight of September 1, 2018.[3] Cebu Daily News editorial hailed him as man of the masses,[7] and the Philippine News Agency noted his popularity among the common folks for "championing the causes of the poor and the marginalized."[3]
