Milagrosa Tee Tan (24 February 1958 – 30 November 2019) was a Filipina politician from the 2nd district province of Samar in the Philippines. She was from the province of Leyte and married a Catbaloganon. She served as governor of Samar twice. She was the first female governor of the province who served from 2001 to 2010 and was re-elected in 2019 following the resignation of her younger sister, Sharee Ann Tan. She also served as a member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines.[2][3][4]

Suspension as governor[]

On 23 November 2018, the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court directed the offices of House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año to implement a 90-day preventive suspension of Samar Representative Milagrosa Tan. Tan was under trial for graft and malversation of public funds with the anomalous purchase of ₱16.1 million in emergency supplies without public bidding when she was the governor of Samar in 2001.[5] The anomalous transactions involved the purchase of ₱3.9 million worth of medicines, ₱1.6 million worth of electric fans, and ₱10.6 million worth of assorted goods and rice.[6] Tan was convicted on 1 March 2019 and was thus disqualified from holding public office.[7]

Death[]

Mila Tan died at a hospital in Taguig after going into cardiac arrest on 30 November 2019.[8][9][10]
