Amanda Cristina "Cristal" La'O Bagatsing (born February 3, 1983), sometimes misspelled as Amanda Christina "Cristal" La'O Bagatsing, is a Filipino politician serving as the representative of Manila's 5th district from 2016 until 2022. She is the daughter of former congressman of the same district Amado Bagatsing.

Congressional career

Bagatsing succeeded her father Amado Bagatsing in his congressional seat at Manila's 5th district in 2016, in a six-way race (with one of them is former congressman Joey Hizon). Her candidacy was motivated by a signature campaign from constituents advocating for a successor to continue her father's initiatives, as she had assisted her father with youth-oriented programs and projects. She was also a member of the House Committee for Women and Gender Equality and is a co-author of the SOGIE Equality Bill.

She ran for 2nd term in 2019 under KABAKA and PDP–Laban and won, defeated former mayoral candidate Ali Atienza. She ran for 3rd term in 2022 under KABAKA and National Unity Party, but lost to councilor Irwin Tieng of Asenso Manileño by an estimate of 3,000 votes.
