Rafael Reyes Recto (November 6, 1931 – March 17, 2008) was a Filipino politician and sports shooter. He competed in the 25 metre pistol event at the 1972 Summer Olympics.[2]
In August 1985, Recto signed an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos, but soon disowned his signature and continued siding with the Marcoses.[3]
In July 1986, Recto took part in a coup attempt led by Arturo Tolentino at the Manila Hotel against the Corazon Aquino administration, being named Tolentino's "justice minister".[4][5] He is the father of Senator Ralph Recto.
