ANOTHER POLICEMAN OFFICER MISSING FOR 7 DAYS FOUND AND BURIED IN SEPTIC TANK IN A BULACAN VILLAGE,

By virtue of a search warrant, police officers entered the compound of alias Sampol – child of a journalist – at Golden St., Felicissima Village, Barangay Mojon, City of Malolos, Bulacan in the early morning of January 31, where the body of the missing police officer was found inside a septic tank.

The victim was identified as Police Staff Sergeant Renato Casauay Jr., 46 years old, married, and a resident of 1026 Aldama St., Sta. Barbara, City of Baliuag, Bulacan.

It was learned that Casauay Jr. was assigned to the PNP DEU SOU-3. On January 24 – the victim’s birthday – he went missing in the aforementioned city, while his wife reported him missing on January 25.

In the initial report, an alias Mark – who reportedly felt remorseful – pointed out to police where Casauay Jr. was buried. It is alleged that the victim first had a confrontation with his asset Julian Salamat alias Mon, who immediately fired a gun.

Removing the septic tank cover was difficult as it was newly cemented and located behind a bamboo hut owned by alias Sampol.

According to residents, around 2:00 PM on January 24, they heard a series of gunshots in the area, which they initially thought was just police officers fooling around.

Through the PNP’s launched hot pursuit operation, PClp Vivencio Abalos and Oliver Paul Mauricio – a 32-year-old who was previously involved in illegal drugs in 2023 – were immediately arrested. Those said to be involved in the crime were identified as Julian Salamat (gunman), Orlan Mauricio, and 8 john-does.MBS.

DILG orders removal of officials’ names, photos from government projects

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has ordered the immediate removal of the names, photos, and likenesses of public officials from government-funded projects, programs, and properties, citing the need to uphold political neutrality and public trust in government.

In Memorandum Circular No. 2026-006 dated January 29, 2026, signed by Interior Secretary Juanito Victor C. Remulla, the DILG directed all provincial, city, municipal and barangay officials, as well as DILG offices and attached agencies nationwide, to strictly comply with the prohibition on the display and affixture of the name, image or likeness of public officials on public projects.

The circular emphasized that government undertakings are funded by public resources and must not be used for personal promotion by politicians.

“Government projects, programs, activities, and properties are funded through public funds and must remain politically neutral and free from any form of self-promotion by public officials,” the memorandum stated.

The DILG noted that the continued practice of placing officials’ names, photos, and identifying marks on government projects creates the impression that such undertakings are personal initiatives rather than institutional efforts of the government, undermining public confidence in the civil service.

The directive is anchored on the 1987 Constitution, the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees (Republic Act No. 6713), Commission on Audit Circular No. 2014-004, and the 2026 General Appropriations Act (Republic Act No. 12314), which all prohibit the unnecessary display of officials’ names, images, logos and initials on publicly funded projects and materials.

Under the policy, all covered officials and employees are ordered to: • Strictly observe the prohibition
• Cause the immediate removal of existing signages, tarpaulins, and markers bearing officials’ names or images
• Ensure wide dissemination of the memorandum within their jurisdictions

The circular applies to all local government officials and personnel, as well as DILG attached agencies including the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, National Police Commission, Philippine Public Safety College, and other DILG-supervised bodies.

The memorandum also warns that any person found violating the order shall be held administratively and/or criminally liable under existing laws, rules, and regulations.

“This Memorandum Circular shall take effect immediately,” the DILG said.

The issuance reinforces the long-standing “anti-epal” policy of the government, which seeks to prevent the use of public funds and infrastructure projects for political self-promotion and to ensure that public service remains professional, impartial, and focused on the people.

HONTIVEROS NAKATIKIM NG MAINIT NA SAGOT NA PARANG SAMPAL LANG SA MAGKABILANG PISNGI MASAKIT BA MADAM?
MULA SA CHINESE EMBASSY
Hindi pinalampas ng Chinese Embassy ang mga
pahayag ni Sen. Risa Hontiveros. Sa isang pahayag, diretsahang tinanong ng embahada ang senadora kung tunay ba umano niyang ipinaglalaban ang interes ng Pilipinas at ng mga Pilipino, o kung ginagamit lamang niya ito para sa sariling political gain.
BTW, are you really "advocating the interest of the
Philippines and the Filipinos"? Or are you simply pursuing your own political gains? If you truly care about the country, you wouldn't repeatedly twist the facts, mislead the Filipino public and incite hostility just to stay in the spotlight.
What you're doing isn't advocacy-it's political theater. And the price of that theater is paid not by you, but by ordinary Filipinos who deserve stability, cooperation, and truth, not manutactured confrontation.
alam na Kasi galawan ng mga pinklawan eh 😝👊😅

‘CELEBRATE RESPONSIBLY’

Simpleng mensahe ngunit mainit sa mga mata ng ibang tumutuligsa sa kanya,
Ito ang payo ni Vice President Sara Duterte sa kaniyang mga taga-suporta matapos pagtibayin ng Korte Suprema ang nauna nitong desisyon na unconstitutional ang Articles of Impeachment laban sa kaniya.

“Huwag ubusin ang pera sa bisyo, at huwag magmaneho nang lasing. At kung maaari ay diyan na lang kayo sa mga bahay ninyo mag-celebrate, or mag-celebrate kayo online — mas mura ‘yun,” sabi ng Bise.
