Donaldo "Dondon" Cabañes Hontiveros (born June 1, 1977) is a Filipino politician and former professional basketball player and coach. He served as vice mayor of Cebu City twice: from 2021 to 2022 and from 2024 to 2025, both stints by virtue of succession.
Hotiveros was first elected to the Cebu City Council in 2019, garnering the most votes. In 2022, due to the death of Mayor Edgardo Labella, Vice Mayor Mike Rama assumed the mayorship while Hontiveros became the vice mayor. After finishing his term as vice mayor, he again garnered the most votes in the 2022 council election. In 2024, Mayor Mike Rama was suspended and later disqualified by the Office of the Ombudsman, thus Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia assumed the mayorship and Hontiveros became vice mayor again.
In basketball, Hontiveros has won three Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) championships and was a 13-time PBA All-Star. He started his career in his hometown of Cebu City, playing for the University of Cebu at the collegiate level and becoming professional with the Cebu Gems of the Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA). In the 2000 PBA draft, he was a direct hire of Tanduay and was later traded to the San Miguel Beermen, where he won the 2005 and 2009 PBA Fiesta Conferences. In 2013, he won the PBA Commissioner's Cup with the Alaska Aces. He then retired after winning the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) championship in 2018 with San Miguel Alab Pilipinas. He thereafter ventured into politics and coaching. He served as an assistant coach for the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters of the PBA from 2022 to 2023, and presently serves as an assistant coach for the Cebu Greats of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) since 2025.
