Eleuterio "Terry" Adevoso, also known by his nom de guerre, "Terry Magtanggol" (February 20, 1922 – March 22, 1975) was a Filipino war hero famous for his role as leader[1][2][3] and co-founder of Hunters ROTC guerilla unit[4][5] during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.[6]: 206 [7]
He was appointed as Secretary of Labor in 1954, under the term of President Ramon Magsaysay. He ran for the Philippine Senate in 1959, but lost.
