Democlito J. Angeles (born August 3, 1922) was a Filipino politician and lawyer who served as the representative for Marikina's at-large district from 1988 to 1992.
A graduate of the Far Eastern University, Angeles ran a law office before entering politics. He served as a member of the Marikina Municipal Council before being elected to Congress in the 1987 election. As a representative, he allied with Jovito Salonga and sat on various committees, including the House Agrarian Reform Committee.

House of Representatives (1988–1992)
Election
Marikina received its at-large congressional district upon the effectivity of the 1987 Constitution, after having been grouped in the Pasig–Marikina district since 1984 under the Regular Batasang Pambansa.[2][3] Angeles ran for the seat in the subsequent 1987 election, the first following the People Power Revolution.[1] During the campaign, he ran under the Liberal Party wing led by senatorial candidate Jovito Salonga.[4] He faced two candidates, including Salome Montoya, who was endorsed by President Corazon Aquino.[4]
In the May 11 election, Angeles defeated Montoya, receiving 40.93% of the votes counted as of May 13.[4] His election was contested before the Commission of Elections, which went on to proclaim him the winner on June 10.[5]
Tenure
During his tenure, Angeles sat on six committees—Agrarian Reform, Justice, Human Rights, Foreign Affairs, Ways and Means, and Urban Planning.[1]
In November 1987, Angeles endorsed a bill seeking cityhood status for Novaliches.[6] In March 1988, Angeles walked out with members of the agrarian reform committee to protest the weakening of a proposed land reform program.[7]
Personal life
Angeles was married to Serabella Angeles. Together, they had two children.[1] They were residents of Calumpang.[8]
