Si '''Sergio Apostol''' ay isang politiko sa Pilipinas at legal counsel ng Malacanang ng Administrasyong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
 
In February 2008, while reacting to the testimony of Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada, Apostol said "Drama-drama lang yan, crying boy [It's mere playacting from a crying boy]," He added: “Bagay sa‘yo i-deport, magulo ka dito." He was referring to Lozada's Chinese background, though Lozada is a natural-born Filipino.
 
Apostol later had to retract this statement when criticized by the Chinese community, government officials such as Sen. Mar Roxas, and media. "This refers to my statement uttered in an emotional outburst in reaction to Mr. Jun Lozada's implication of the First Gentleman to an alleged crime based on what is, at best, hearsay evidence. Be that as it may, I sincerely apologize to our hardworking and law- abiding Filipino Chinese who may have been offended by my unintended slur."
 
Sen. Mar Roxas had said: "[Apostol] should also offer an apology to the Chinese people, who have suffered an insult despite their deep friendship with the Filipino people," said Roxas, president of the Liberal Party."
 
"We find it totally ironic that the President's lawyer has made a racist slur against the very nation from whom this government has sought to borrow millions of dollars that have been purloined by rotten officials," Roxas said.
 
Roxas was referring to the multimillion-dollar loan that the Philippine government had sought to obtain from China to finance the controversial national broadband network (NBN) project that has been ruined by corruption.
