DILG: None missing in Bogo after quake
The Freeman
|October 07, 2025
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Cebu Province made clear that there are no missing persons reported in Bogo City following the 6.9-magnitude earthquake, contradicting an earlier situational report released by the Cebu Provincial Government.
DILG provincial director Jesus Robel Sastrillo Jr. said the supposed report of three missing individuals was based only on a request for verification from the consul general of the Philippine Embassy in Paris, France.
The consul general had asked for updates on the whereabouts of Gemma Largabo, Ledito Largabo, and Eriana Largabo, allegedly residents of Barangay Binabag, Bogo City, after their relatives in Paris raised concerns that they could not be contacted.
According to Sastrillo, the request was forwarded by police attaché Colonel Rodolfo Castro Jr. to the DILG for proper validation on the ground.
"This is not about missing... This pertains to the request," Sastrillo stressed during a media interview.
