Norman Marquez

Norman Cordero Marquez is a real estate broker and animal welfare advocate. He co-founded and serves as the sole administrator of Baguio Animal Welfare, a volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need.

Marquez has sought a seat in the Philippine Senate in multiple elections. In both the 2019 and 2022 elections, he filed his candidacy for senator, but the Commission on Elections declared him a nuisance candidate, citing his lack of national recognition and insufficient financial resources to sustain a nationwide campaign. He challenged both rulings before the Supreme Court, which ruled in his favor on both occasions. Although his candidacy was ultimately rendered moot due to the conclusion of both elections, the Supreme Court deemed it necessary to address the issue, recognizing the possibility of similar circumstances arising in future elections.

In 2024, Marquez once again filed his candidacy for the 2025 senatorial elections. This time, he was included in the official list of candidates.
