Jonathan Dioso Tan is a Filipino politician and businessman who served as mayor of Pandan, Antique from 2010 to 2019. He was appointed on April 28, 2023 as the Chairman and Administrator of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). As SBMA Chairman and Administrator, he accomplished a major milestone to bolster the national coffers as SBMA ranked as one of the top dividend contributors in 2023. On January 12, 2024, Malacañang announced the promotion to national level of Tan as Undersecretary of Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
In response to a news report about the filing of a complaint for violation of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act against him, the DILG clarified that Tan vacated his post in October 2024 upon the filing of his candidacy for Governor of Antique.
He was one of the Philippines' Most Outstanding Mayors in 2012 together with city Mayors Alfredo Lim of Manila, Benjie Lim of Dagupan, Meynardo Sabili of Lipa, Edgardo Pamintuan of Angeles, Jennifer Austria-Barzaga of Dasmariñas, and Len Alonte-Naguiat of Biñan. He was the only municipal mayor who bagged the award on that year.
He served as President of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines – Antique and elected as PRO of LMP-National from 2013 to 2016. He was also the Secretary of the Northwest Panay Peninsula Biodiversity and Conservation Council.
