Ali Jejhon "Toti" Macalintal (1985/1986–June 23, 2025) was a Filipino human rights activist and radio journalist. Macalintal first came to public attention in 2002 when she was arrested and wrongfully convicted alongside two others in relation to the Fitmart Mall bombing, which killed 15 people. Macalintal and her co-defendants became known as the GenSan Three, and following public pressure, the three were acquitted of all charges in 2010 after eight years of imprisonment. Macalintal went on to play an organisational role in human rights organisations including Karapatan and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan and became known for her activism in respect of LGBTQ, Moro and indigenous communities on Mindanao. From 2019, Macalintal worked as a broadcaster on various radio stations in General Santos, where she was shot and killed in June 2025 by an unknown assailant.
