José Roilo Solís Gólez (January 9, 1947 – June 11, 2018) was a Filipino politician who last served his sixth term as Member of the Philippine House of Representatives representing the Second District of Parañaque, one of the most industrialized districts of the Philippines. A veteran legislator, he was elected in 1992, 1995, 1998, 2004, 2007, and 2010 all by landslide victories and had served as Congressman for six terms: in the 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Congress of the Philippines.

Gólez was born on January 9, 1947, in the small town of Looc, Romblon in the Philippines. His father was a Philippine Naval Captain. He grew up in a low cost government housing project and was a product of public schools. Coming from a rural area, Gólez rose to success in academics, sports, government, business, civic organizations and politics.

Gólez went to the Philippine Military Academy and US Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, major in mathematics and operations analysis. While at Annapolis, he distinguished himself in academics, leadership and sports. He was consistently in the Superintendent's Honor List. He was selected company commander, a high position in the Brigade of Midshipmen and was a brigade boxing champion for four straight years, establishing a record as the first to achieve this feat since the Academy was established in 1845. So far, only fourteen midshipmen have won four brigade boxing championships in the academy's history.
