Early life
Locsin was born in Manila on November 13, 1948. His father was the prominent newspaperman and publisher Teodoro Locsin Sr.[1]
When Senior Associate Justice Leonardo Quisumbing retired from the Supreme Court on November 5, 2009, Locsin was among the candidates nominated by the Judicial and Bar Council as a potential replacement.[3]
Personal life
Relationships
He is married to Ma. Lourdes Barcelon, who ran for Congress at the First District of Makati for the Liberal Party, but lost to outgoing Councilor Monique Yasmin Lagdameo of PDP-Laban. She ran for such post as her husband is ineligible to seek reelection after three consecutive terms of service.
He was formerly married to Philippine Stocks Exchange officer Vivian Yuchengco. They have two daughters, Margarita and Bianca.
Social media presence
He is described as "one of the most amusing online presences on Twitter".[4] He was recently chastised by internet users over his comments on Twitter regarding the Tagalog language as he called for it "a language inappropriate to pointed debate" during a recent event.[5] He later defended his prior comments concerning the use of Tagalog in debates.[6]
