Alejo Santos Santos (born Alejo de los Santos de los Santos; July 17, 1911[b] – February 18, 1984) was a Filipino soldier and World War II hero who parlayed his fame into a political career. His prestige was somewhat marred in later life when he agreed to run as the only major candidate opposing Ferdinand Marcos in the 1981 Philippine presidential election.
