Eufemia Pet "Mimi" Doringo (born November 14, 1975) is an urban poor activist from the Philippines who is the general secretary of the militant group Kadamay. In the 2025 Philippine Senate election, she ran under the Makabayan slate but lost.
Born in Balud, Masbate, Doringo is the third of five children and grew up in Metro Manila. Her father, Nestor Tintina Pet, is a fisherman before working in Saudi Arabia in 24 years. Meanwhile, her mother, Helen Delos Reyes Kabug, did laundry for a living. She finished elementary at Tandang Sora Elementary School (now known as Don Placido Del Mundo Elementary School), Novaliches, Quezon City.[1]
Because of hardships, she was not able to step into college, working as early as nineteen years old at Ever Bilena. For her, this is her first exposure on the exploitation of workers. She was a contractual worker for two years. She joined an impromptu sit-in protest that the workers did because the company did not give their holiday pay.[1]
In 2012, she joined the urban poor community organization in their neighborhood that crafted a people's plan for in-city relocation.[1]
