Far Eastern University (FEU) alum Gabriel Luke J. Castro from the Institute of Accounts, Business, and Finance (IABF) was reported to be missing since December 30, 2024. 

Castro, along with his missing workmate Daniel Hermoso, was last seen at their workplace, Apex Construction and Crushing Plant in San Rafael, Bulacan. 

The IABF alum, at 24 years old, was the Plant Manager of the company, while Daniel Hermoso was the bodyguard. 

In the missing persons’ families’ interview on ‘Raffy Tulfo in Action,’ Castro was last contacted via text by his fiancé on the evening of December 30.

Their case was already reported to the police force by the company. However, there are still no updates from the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG). 

In addition, Hermoso’s family only knew about his disappearance this February through the family of Castro. 

According to John Talusan, the current Plant Manager of Apex Construction and Crushing Plant, several workers who were with Castro and Hermoso suddenly stopped reporting to work after they had a gathering on the same night of the disappearance. 

Those who may have any information about Castro and Hermoso’s whereabouts may reach out to the contact number 09537492186.
