Edna Padilla Sanchez is a Filipino politician who served as the mayor of Santo Tomas from 2013 to 2022 and previously from 2004 until 2010. She was also the substitute candidate for governor in 2010 after her husband Armando Sanchez died on April 27; she eventually lost to incumbent Governor Vilma Santos.[1]

Sanchez advocated for the successful cityhood of this town, thus making her as the first city mayor after its plebiscite in 2019.[2][3]

She was married to Armando Sanchez, a former governor of Batangas and mayor of Santo Tomas; they had four children.[citation needed]
