Ferdinand "Ferdie" Viceo Estrella (born September 5, 1979) is a Filipino politician who is currently serving as mayor of Baliwag, in office since 2016. Previously, he was a Barangay chairman of Poblacion from 2007 until 2016, and ABC President of the municipality from 2010 until 2016.
Estrella is the son of businesswoman Sonia Viceo and former Mayor Romeo M. Estrella (January 17, 1943 - March 7, 2019; Mayor from 2004 to 2013), and is married to Johnna Nubla.
On March 17, 2020, he tested positive for COVID-19,[1] and he was recovered on March 29.[2][3]
On July 14, 2017, the Ombudsman of the Philippines filed criminal cases before the Sandiganbayan against Estrella's father, Ex-Mayor Romeo M. Estrella (for violations of Section 3 (e) of Republic Act 3019, Anti Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, Section 59 Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987 and Article 171 (4) of the Revised Penal Code). The charges specified that the former Mayor allegedly appointed his niece Julieta Estrella-Laguna, as the municipal government's labor general foreman in violation of the Civil Service rules against nepotism.[4]
