Authorities in Benguet have mobilized rescue teams to locate Raul Aludos Juan, a resident of Barangay Sagubo in Kapangan, who disappeared on September 3. The Kapangan Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) received the missing persons report shortly after noon on the day of his disappearance.
Searches are focusing on the Sagubo area, where Juan was last known to be. The MDRRMO has coordinated with local barangay officials and rescue personnel to comb through the locality in hopes of locating the missing resident.
Details regarding the circumstances surrounding Juan's disappearance remain limited. Authorities have not released additional information about the nature of the search or any leads that may have emerged during the operation.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about missing persons in rural and mountainous areas of the Philippines, where difficult terrain and limited resources can complicate search efforts. The MDRRMO continues to appeal for any information from residents who may have seen Juan or know of his whereabouts.
