Bayugan City Police Director Police Supt. Reynante Sibayton identified the barangay official as Wilfredo Ilustrisisimo, 25, single, barangay kagawad and resident of Barangay Kolam-bugan, Sibagat, Agusan del Sur.

Sibagat town is approximately 24.4 kilometers from this city.

Investigator PO1 Basilmar Calumba of Bayugan City Police Office––who was tasked by Sibayton to investigate the suicide incident––claimed that the victim together with a still unidentified female teenager checked-in Thursday evening at Bahay Kubo Lodging House located at Poblacion, Bayugan City.

The following morning Friday, room attendants of the lodging house noticed Ilustrisisimo has not come out of his room for so long and the room was silent. This prompted the attendants to open the room and once opened they found Ilustrisisimo already dead lying with a suicide note and a bottle believed to have contained poisonous substance were found by his bedside.

The lodging house owners and administration immediately notified Bayugan City Police Office and parents and relatives of the victim in Barangay Kolam-bugan.

Responding close relatives confirmed the suicide victim was Wilfredo Ilustisisimo and also confirmed the handwriting in the suicide note belonged to the barangay official.

Police are still investigating the incident if there was foul-play in the alleged suicide of the barangay official.
