Rodante Dizon Marcoleta (born July 29, 1953) is a Filipino politician serving as the Party-list Representative for SAGIP since 2016, and as a House Deputy Speaker in the 18th Congress since July 2019 under the leadership of Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano and Lord Allan Velasco.[1] A member of the religious group Iglesia ni Cristo, Marcoleta is one of the vocal opponents against ABS-CBN and is among the 70 representatives who voted to reject the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN.[2][3][4]

Marcoleta was elected to the House of Representatives of the Philippines under the 13th Congress representing the party-list of Alagad from 2004 to 2007 and again under the 15th Congress from 2009 until 2013. In 2016, under the 17th Congress, he was elected party-list representative of the Social Amelioration & Genuine Intervention on Poverty Partylist, more commonly known by its abbreviation SAGIP.[5]

He is known as the proponent of slashing the budget of the Commission on Human Rights to 1,000 pesos.[6] In September 2021, he has been nominated by the PDP–Laban political party to run for the 2022 Philippine Senate elections.[7]
