Salonga
OCTOBER 7, 1951: "ASIONG
SALONGA," TONDO'S No.1
TOUGHIE, SHOT DEAD
In the later part of the 40s and
early part of the 50s, the name
Asiong Salonga brought fears and chills to the residents of Tondo
and its environs. Salonga, a
dreaded and notorious gang
leader, and the likes of Totoy
Golem, Toothpick, Boy Zapanta
and other toughies that time, Tondo became a bloodbath of
gangland violence.
As they say, Crime Does Not Pay!
Salonga, only 27, met his untimely
death in 1951. He was gunned down
during a drinking session. Here***s that fateful day
Nicasio Salonga, alias Asiong
Salonga, 27, Tondo***s No.1 ***tough
guy,*** reached the end of his shady
career when he was shot and
killed on Coral street, Tondo, at 5 p.m. yesterday. Apparently a
victim of gangland vendetta and
double-cross, Salonga toppled,
mortally wounded in the head, from
a sitting position atop a store
counter at No.100 Coral down to the sidewalk gutters. A well-
placed shot fired at close range
from a Commando .38 caliber
revolver by still unidentified
assailant found its mark on
Salonga***s head, the bullet entering his left temple and coming out of
his skull. He was taken to the St.
Luke***s hospital by his neighbors
who saw him sprawled and
bleeding in the gutters. Salonga
died a few minutes after arriving at the hospital.
The police last night sought a
certain Ernesto Reyes, identified
as the alleged killer of Salonga.
Several phone calls received by
the police pointed to Reyes as the Tondo toughie***s slayer. Reyes is a
henchman of Carlos Capistrano,
alias Totoy Golem. Up to early this
morning, the police were making
contacts to effect the surrender of
Reyes. The alleged killer was expected to give himself up to the
authorities.
Police reserves were rushed to
the scene as precautionary
measure to avert further flow of
blood as the former***s followers girded themselves to avenge their
leader***s death. Three men, one of
them identified as Carlos
Capistrano, alias Totoy Golem,
were being sought by the police for
questioning. Although investigators believed Salonga
was a victim of gangland vendetta
and double-cross, another angle,
that politics was behind the killing,
is being probed. It was learned
that Salonga, formerly a rabid Liberal Party follower, had shifted
his alliance to the Nacionalista
Party lately.
Preliminary police investigation
established that Salonga,
Capistrano and the two others came from a baptismal party on
Ricafort street. From the party,
they went to the store owned by
Apolonio Santos on Coral street
where they continued drinking
beer. Capistrano, whose bailiwick is San Nicolas, according to the
police, had been feuding with
Salonga, whose bailiwick is
Tondo. Investigators presumed
that when the two met at the party
they decided to patch up their quarrel, hence Salonga invited
Capistrano to a drinking spree.
The circumstances preceding the
killing, as pieced together by the
police from reluctant witnesses,
stated that Salonga, Capistrano and his two companions seated
themselves in front of the store.
Capistrano and his companions
occupied a bamboo bench, while
Salonga sat atop the store***s
counter. After downing several bottles of beer, Capistrano,
apparently feeling sick, stood up
and started vomiting. As if by a
pre-arranged signal, one of his
companions also stood up, backed
up a few steps then pulled out the gun tucked in his waist and fired at
Salonga once, then took to his
heels losing himself in the maze of
alleys in Tondo***s slum area.
Salonga, a sanitary inspector, had
several brushes with the law with 12 charges mostly for illegal
possession of firearms. His name
had been linked to several murder
and homicide cases but somehow
had always managed to squirm out.
The police arrested Ernesto Reyes, 27, of 235 Leonor Privado
street, Tondo and no bail was
recommended. He turned in the
murder weapon, a .38 caliber
Commando revolver. Reyes denied
he shot Salonga intentionally and claimed it was an accident. He
said his gun went off accidentally
during his scuffle with one of
Salonga***s henchmen.

convicted in a celebrated homicide
case.
After conviction he spent the next
eleven and a half years in the
National Penetentiary. He became one of the youngest
gang leaders of the Philippine
underworld;
was radicalized and indoctrinated
into a communist movement front
organization. He then started writing for various
publications in prison and exposed
the unjust systems practiced by
prison authorities in the
penitentiary.
Released in 1976, he was a changed man, not because prison
life reformed him but because the
Lord Jesus Christ found him and
touched him.
He was called by God in an audible
voice to proclaim His Word.
