About Macacuna Dimaporo

Datu Macacuna Borngao Dimaporo was a Filipino lawyer and politician. He served in the House of Representatives during the 7th Congress as the representative for Lanao del Sur from 1969 until the imposition of martial law in 1972.

Career Liberal Party candidate Rasid Lucman challenged Dimaporo's victory in the 1969 House elections before the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) on allegations of irregularities in several election returns from Lanao del Sur. The dispute was elevated to the Supreme Court in 1970 in Lucman v. Dimaporo, which dismissed Lucman's petition and upheld COMELEC's actions, affirming Dimaporo's election.

After his congressional term, he joined Mindanao State University as a consultant during the tenure of his elder brother, former Lanao del Sur governor Mohammad Ali Dimaporo, who served as the institution's acting president.

In 1984, Dimaporo was elected to the Regular Batasang Pambansa representing Lanao del Sur, serving until 1986.
