Seth Frederick Pal Jalosjos (born September 11, 1979), known as Bullet Jalosjos, is a Filipino businessman and politician from the province of Zamboanga del Norte, who currently serves as mayor of Dapitan.[1][2]

Family and personal life

He is the son of former First District Congressman Romeo G. Jalosjos, the half-brother of Congressman Romeo "Jonjon" Jalosjos Jr., the brother of TV host (and former mayor of Baliangao, Misamis Occidental) Svetlana "Lana" Jalosjos-de Leon, and a nephew of Rosalina Jalosjos.[3]

Outside of political life, he is a drummer, a sports enthusiast, a farmer, and a businessman.[4] He was once romantically linked to former actress and model Nancy Castiglione.[5][6]

Business career

Apart from other business ventures within his family, Jalosjos also serves as Chief Financial Officer of Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc., the former producer of the longest-running noontime variety show Eat Bulaga!, and its successor, Tahanang Pinakamasaya.[7]

Politics

Since belonging to a local political family, he made his political entry when he ran for Board Member of Zamboanga del Norte's First District in 2007. In 2010, he ran for and won as Congressman of the same district.[8] He ran for reelection in 2013[9] and 2016, and won. In the 2019 local elections, he ran for governor of Zamboanga del Norte, but was defeated.[10]

In the 2022 local elections, Jalosjos won as Mayor of Dapitan against former Dipolog Mayor and former Zamboanga Del Norte Governor Roberto Uy.

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.[11]

2019 illegal detention case

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.[12][13] 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".[14]
