Incidents and controversies

Incidents

On April 26, 2016, Jalosjos and his party mates were having a campaign in Barangay Poblacion, La Libertad, Zamboanga del Norte when gunshots were fired. Jalosjos, who was on his reelection bid that year, survived the assassination attempt with his party.[10]

Controversies

Jalosjos and his cousin were accused of kidnapping and illegal detention of Milagros Ceriales and Rosita Jalosjos in 2019 after it was alleged that the victims were detained against their will at Dakak Park and Beach Resort, which is owned by the Jalosjos family.[11][12] He was issued an arrest warrant on that matter, but his camp filed for a motion asking for "immediate deferment or recall of the warrant".[13]
