Aniela Bianca Delgado Tolentino (born May 8, 1996)[2] is a Filipino politician and businesswoman who has served as the representative for Cavite's eighth district since 2022.
Tolentino entered politics in 2021, when she substituted her mother, then-Tagaytay Mayor Agnes Tolentino, as the candidate for representative in Cavite's eighth district in 2022 after the latter withdrew to instead run for vice mayor of Tagaytay.[3] She eventually won the race, succeeding her term-limited father Abraham Tolentino, who was in turn elected mayor of Tagaytay.[4][5] She was re-elected in 2025.[4] During the 20th Congress, she chairs the House Committee on Climate Change and is the vice chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.[6]
Tolentino has been a proponent of agricultural education, supporting initiatives to establish farming high schools across different regions of the Philippines.[7]
