MANILA – Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla is not hospitalized and is in good health, playing golf during the holidays, his brother confirmed on January 3, 2026. The clarification came amid circulating rumors of Remulla’s alleged confinement, which his family and spokespersons firmly denied.
Remulla’s brother, Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla, posted on social media: “My brother is fine, enjoying golf—not in any hospital.” The DOJ echoed the statement, calling the rumors “baseless misinformation.”
The speculation surfaced online after unverified reports claimed health issues, possibly linked to stress from high-profile cases like the flood control scandal probe. However, Remulla has been active in recent events, including budget deliberations and anti-corruption drives.
This incident highlights the rapid spread of false information on social media, prompting calls for verification before sharing.
