Christopher "PJ" Emnace Malonzo (born February 2, 1981) is a Filipino politician and former actor who last served as a city councilor of Caloocan from the city's 1st district from 2016 to 2022.
Malonzo was born to actors Rey Malonzo and Gwendolyn Emnace.
PJ Malonzo was initially appointed as Caloocan City councilor by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on April 1, 2005 after the death of Councilor Eduardo "Popoy" Rosca two months prior.[2] [3] The appointment pushback by city government officials who had intended to recommend Rosca's daughter Kristen Joy for the position.[3] [4] [5] [6] By May 2005, the Caloocan Regional Trial Court Branch 131 issued a decision indefinitely barring Malonzo from taking the vacant council seat.[7]
Malonzo was elected councilor of Caloocan under the United Nationalist Alliance as part of the electoral team of Mayor Oscar Malapitan in 2016.[8] [9]
On February 17, 2021, Mayor Malapitan filed a cyberlibel complaint against Malonzo and four other councilors due to their accusations that his government procured substandard digital tablets for schools.[10]
On September 20, 2021, Malonzo joined the Aksyon Demokratiko party alongside Congressman Edgar Erice and five other councilors.[11] In 2022, Malonzo attempted to run for vice mayor with mayoral aspirant Erice, but lost to fellow councilor Karina Teh-Limsico.[12] [13]
On October 3, 2024, Malonzo filed his certificate of candidacy for Caloocan vice mayor, as the running mate of former senator Antonio Trillanes IV in the 2025 mayoral election.
