Common card · No. 259103

The Aquino family (, Tagalog: [ʔɐˈxiː.no]) is one of the most prominent families in the Philippines because of their involvement in politics. Some family members are also involved in other fields such as business and entertainment. The family comes from Tarlac with Kapampangan descent and has produced several congressmen, senators, a vice governor, and two presidents. The head of the patriarch family is Servillano Aquino, who was a delegate to the Malolos Congress in 1898. His son, Benigno Aquino Sr., followed his footsteps as he represented the 2nd District of Tarlac to the House of Representatives of the Philippines (1916–1928) and to the Philippine Legislature by being a senator (1928–1934).
