BAGUIO CITY (December 6, 2024)

A dismembered body of a Police Sergeant, was dug up by investigators at the compound of a Police Lieutenant Colonel’s ancestral home here in the city Thursday, exactly a week after the former was killed at the Metro Manila home of the latter. The remains of Police Executive Master Sergeant (PEMS) Emmanuel Ballos De Asis, assigned at the Puerto Princesa Police Provincial Office in Palawan, was exhumed within the ancestral property of Police Lt. Col. Roderick T. Pascua, 45, in Brgy. Pucsusan, here, Thursday confirming the grizzly crime a week earlier (November 28, 2024) when de Asis was allegedly caught with Pascua’s wife Rosemarie, also a Police Executive Master Sergeant at their rented apartment in Bicutan, Taguig City.

Taguig City police in an official report by Police Colonel Joey Goforth claimed that Pascua had admitted, though
extrajudicial confession, of fatally shooting de Asis, in the presence of his wife in their living room after discovering about the intimate relation of the two. Pascua also accordingly admitted into ordering his wife to get a hacksaw to cut de Asis body into pieces then tucked these inside two chute sacks, loaded these to their pick-up truck and brought these to their ancestral home compound in Baguio City to bury. Pascua, now in custody of authorities, had reportedly
undergone inquest proceedings for the crime, amidst furor among the family of de Asis, a member of the influential
Freemasonry Fraternity.
