Amadea Angela Aquino (aka Angela Aquino - born October 9, 1978), is an Asian American human rights advocate based in New York City. She is the founder of Equal Rights for Children,[1] a non-profit organization, advocating for the rights of marginalized children, such as those born out of wedlock, recruited into terrorism and those with undocumented status.[1]

Aquino was the petitioner of a big landmark case Aquino vs Aquino GR 208912.[2] The Philippine Supreme Court ruled unanimously in her favor, with the decision penned by Supreme Court Justice Marvic Leonen.[2] This ruling struck down a 300-year-old Iron Curtain Rule,[3] setting forth a new legal doctrine allowing children born to unmarried parents to obtain an inheritance through their grandparents. [4] This redefines succession laws for children born out of wedlock. [5]

Aquino is a candidate for the 2025 Public Advocate elections in New York City.
