Pascual B. Racuyal (1911, Tinago, Cebu City – 2004, Bulacan) was a Filipino eccentric[1] and aspirant for the Philippine presidency, whose persistent attempts at the presidency earned him folk status. Racuyal sought the presidency in every Philippine presidential election beginning in 1935 against Manuel L. Quezon, Emilio Aguinaldo, and Gregorio Aglipay[2] until 1986 (against Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino).[3]
