On the morning of Sunday, January 4, 2026, the quiet stretch of the national highway in Barangay Caquilingan, Cordon, Isabela, became the site of a heartbreaking accident.
Police Senior Master Sergeant Reymundo Maramag, 43, was traveling along the outer lane of the highway when tragedy struck.
Maramag, a resident of Tuguegarao City and a dedicated member of the Police Security and Protection Group (PSPG) at the PNP National Headquarters, was a man known for his commitment to service.

The incident was captured by a dashcam video, providing a chillingly clear look at the final moments.
The footage shows the motorcycle steadily drifting toward the shoulder of the road. For reasons still under investigation, whether due to a sudden medical emergency, mechanical failure, or momentary fatigue, the bike failed to correct its path, eventually slamming into a concrete utility post.
The force of the collision was catastrophic. Maramag was thrown from his motorcycle, his body landing directly in the inner lane of the highway.
At that exact moment, a refrigerated van, driven by a 35-year-old resident of Quirino province identified as "Zandy," was approaching.
Despite the driver's attempt to brake, the van struck the fallen officer, dragging him several meters along the asphalt.
Emergency responders rushed Maramag to a nearby hospital, but the severity of the multiple injuries he sustained proved too great. He was tragically declared dead on arrival.
While the occupants of the refrigerated van were physically unharmed, the emotional weight of the event hangs heavy.
The driver is currently in the custody of the Cordon Municipal Police Station as investigators finalize the disposition of the case.
For the family and colleagues of PSMS Maramag, the new year has begun with a profound void, reminding us all of the fragile line between a routine commute and a life-altering tragedy.
In other news, a routine delivery in Pangil, Laguna, turned into a financial disaster on January 7, 2026, after a courier’s motorcycle and its entire payload were stolen when the driver briefly left the engine running during a drop-off. Upon his arrest in Siniloan, the 39-year-old perpetrator claimed he had already offloaded the stolen goods—not for profit, but by distributing the customer parcels to local children as he fled. Because the theft was attributed to the rider's negligence, the worker is now contractually forced to reimburse his company ₱14,000 for the lost inventory, a sum that represents months of hard-earned savings. While the suspect tearfully cited extreme destitution and family abandonment as his motivation, police have proceeded with heavy charges of carnapping and grand theft due to his prior history of similar offenses.
Still in other news, following the surrender of the "body-in-a-box" suspect on January 7, 2026, the victim’s family revealed that Anelis Agocoy had contacted her mother in Camiguin just hours before her death to report specific threats on her life. State investigators released CCTV footage from the Turbina bus terminal showing the suspect—Agocoy's live-in partner—struggling to board a Bicol-bound bus while hauling a plastic storage box now known to have contained the victim's remains. Police successfully linked the suspect to the crime through a mall barcode found on the industrial tape used to seal the container, which matched a purchase made at a Laguna department store just before the murder. The suspect finally turned himself in after his own father collaborated with the Camarines Norte Police, though the accused continues to claim the woman's death was a "tragic accident" during a domestic dispute.
