Fulgencio Santos "Jun" Factoran Jr. (November 3, 1943– April 5, 2020) was a Filipino lawyer, politician, human rights activist, pro-democracy activist, and advocate for freedom of the press in the Philippines. Factoran was a key opponent of the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship. After the restoration of democracy, he served in the Cabinet of President Corazon Aquino as Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (Philippines) (DENR) from 1987 to 1992.[1][2][3] In 2018, Factoran was identified as a Motu Proprio victim of human rights violations during the Martial Law era by the Human Rights Victims Claims Board.[4]
