Police said he is a resident of General Trias and may be experiencing a medical condition. His family shared that he had left home earlier that day and appeared disoriented during the incident. Motorist Lorie Sy described the tense encounter, saying, “I stayed locked inside my car while he repeatedly pulled on my door handle in the middle of traffic.” Authorities are urging the public to provide any information that may help locate Matados so he can receive proper medical attention. Coordination with local health officials is also underway to ensure he is given appropriate care once found.
In a separate operation, agents from the National Bureau of Investigation in the CALABARZON region rescued 10 individuals from an alleged abusive situation at a resort in Laguna on February 19, 2026. The operation followed weeks of surveillance, leading to the arrest of a male suspect accused of using social media platforms to exploit victims and facilitate illegal transactions for profit. The suspect is currently under detention without bail and faces multiple charges under the Anti-Traffic*king in Persons Act and the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Authorities emphasized that the operation highlights the importance of vigilance from both law enforcement and the public in protecting vulnerable individuals and ensuring accountability for offenders.
