October 25, 2025 – General Santos City
Residents of Purok 8, Mudia Extension, Barangay Labangal, General Santos City were startled early Saturday morning, October 25, after discovering the decomposing body of a man in a grassy area.
According to Police Major Jethro Doligas, Station Commander of Makar Police Station, the body was already in an advanced state of decomposition when found around 8:00 a.m. Authorities believe the victim had been dead for several days before being discovered.
Police described the victim as a male wearing denim pants and a T-shirt with a motorbike print. A distinct tattoo of a lion was also seen on his right arm — a possible identifying mark that may help locate his family.
The body has been brought to Arrian Funeral Services in Barangay Labangal for proper disposition and identification.
Major Doligas has called on the public, especially families with missing male relatives, to coordinate with Makar Police Station to help identify the victim.
