James L. Gordon

James Leonard Tagle Gordon Sr. (January 17, 1917 – February 20, 1967) was a Filipino-American politician who was mayor of Olongapo from December 30, 1963, until his assassination on February 20, 1967. As mayor, he presided over the transition of Olongapo from a municipality to a city. Unlike his four brothers who took American citizenship and lived in the United States, he chose to stay in the Philippines as a Filipino citizen and raised his children as Filipino citizens.
