Vicente Singson Encarnación (August 5, 1875 – May 27, 1961) was a Filipino politician and businessman. Encarnacion served as a member of the Senate of the Philippines from 1916 to 1922.
In September 1901, Encarnacion was appointed prosecuting attorney (fiscal) of Ilocos Sur. In 1907 he was elected to the Philippine House of Representatives for the Progresista Party for the 1st district of Ilocos Sur. A year later he was elected president of the Progresista Party. Re-elected in 1909 and 1911, he served until 1913. On October 30 of that year, Encarnacion was appointed to the Philippine Commission.[2]
In 1916, Encarnacion was elected to the newly established Senate of the Philippines representing the 1st district. Because he received the most votes in the district, he won a six-year term in the Senate until 1922.[3] Encarnacion was the only senator who was not a member of the Nacionalista Party during his time in office. During his term, he joined the Philippine independence mission to the US in 1919.[1]
After his stint in the Senate, he became active in business and held top positions in insurance, banking and real estate. From April 1933 to July 1934 he was secretary of agriculture and commerce and at the same time secretary of finance in the cabinet of US Governor-General Theodore Roosevelt Jr.[1]
Encarnacion died in Caloocan in 1961 at the age of 85. He was married to Cecila Diaz Conde and had eight children.[1]
