CIELO MAGNO
Maria Cielo D. Magno (born October 30, 1977) is a Filipino economist and former Finance Undersecretary for Fiscal Policy and Monitoring. She chaired the Philippine Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the Fiscal Incentives Review Board (FIRB) Technical Committee, and the Inter-Agency Investment Promotion Coordination Committee (IIPCC) Technical Committee.
Magno resigned from her position following her public criticism of Executive Order No. 39, which imposed a price ceiling on rice. She shared a supply and demand graph on her Facebook page to illustrate how price controls could lead to supply shortages and affect farmers and consumers. Her post was met with criticism from Malacañang, with Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin stating that she did not support the administration’s programs.
Prior to her government service, Magno was a tenured associate professor at the University of the Philippines School of Economics. In 2024, she was selected to represent civil society in the Global Steering Committee of the Open Government Partnership.
