Rafael Puchero "Raffy" Nantes (January 4, 1957 – May 17, 2010) was the governor of the Province of Quezon, Philippines from 2007 to 2010. He was the national treasurer of the Liberal Party. He first served as a congressman of the 1st District of Quezon from 1998 to 2007.
He was born on January 4, 1957, in Polillo, Quezon to Dr. Alban Nantes and Eufemia Puchero. As a boy, he grew up with his grandmother Eleuteria, fondly called Nana Teryang, who was a fish dealer. Raffy helped in selling fish going from house to house.[ citation needed]
When their family moved to Manila and transferred near Camp Aguinaldo, he became a shoeshine boy, shining shoes of generals and other officers in the Camp, to have needed funds for his studies and daily family expenses.
He was married to Betty Buenaobra, the President of People's International Enterprises Company and 2022 vice gubernatorial candidate. They had only one son named Samuel, who served as the vice governor of Quezon from 2013 to 2022.
