CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Former Zamboanga del Norte 1st District congressman Romeo Jalosjos has died, his son Seth announced on Sunday, August 2. He was 85.
Jalosjos was a member of the Ferdinand E. Marcos-era Batasang Pambansa. He later returned to Congress as representative of Zamboanga del Norte in the 1990s.
His political career was marred by controversy after he was accused of raping an 11-year-old girl, a charge he denied. The Supreme Court in 2002 upheld his conviction for statutory rape, ending his tenure in the House of Representatives and barring him from continuing in public office.
