Angelito Tan "Lito" Banayo (born 1946) is a Filipino politician with the Nationalist People's Coalition. He was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office, the de facto embassy of the Philippines in Taiwan, by President Rodrigo Duterte on June 30, 2016. Formerly the Postmaster General under Cory Aquino and then head of the Philippine Tourism Authority during the Joseph Estrada administration, he later became administrator of the National Food Authority under Secretary of Agriculture Proceso Alcala during the presidency of Benigno Aquino III. He resigned from the latter post in September 2012 to run for the House of Representatives, but then withdrew from the race in December of that same year.
Banayo grew up in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte where his family had moved in the 1960s. He studied economics at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Manila, and then went on to the Ateneo Graduate School of Business and the University of the Philippines College of Public Administration.
