Peter Paul Danao is a Filipino lawyer who has frequently served as legal counsel in high-profile cases in the Philippines. As of early 2026, he is prominently recognized as the legal counsel for Manases “Mans” Carpio, the husband of Vice President Sara Duterte. In this role, Danao has publicly defended Carpio against allegations from the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) regarding “suspicious” bank transactions, asserting that the reports presented to the House Justice Committee were “fake” and constituted a violation of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) due to the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.

Previously, he represented Clarita Garcia, the wife of former military comptroller Carlos Garcia, in a plunder case, where he argued for the inadmissibility of statements taken without proper legal counsel.
