Jose Diego Aspiras (August 18, 1924 – November 14, 1999) was a Filipino politician. He was a member of former President Ferdinand Marcos's cabinet, and was considered one of the most loyal political lieutenants from Marcos' “northern bloc” of political influence.[1] He was the country's first Minister of Tourism, representative from La Union's 2nd district from 1969 to 1972 and from 1987 to 1998, and an assemblyman from La Union from 1984 to 1986. He is interred in the local Basilica Minore in Agoo, La Union.
The Agoo-Baguio Road was formerly named "Jose D. Aspiras Highway" after him but was renamed to Palispis Highway.[2]
