After days of desperate searching and tearful pleas from his family on social media, JHUROS FLORES, a 22-year-old student and part-time delivery rider, was found lifeless and floating in a river in Sitio Maligaya, Barangay San Lorenzo, Bulacan, early this morning.

The heartbreaking discovery has sent shockwaves through the local community and across social media, as questions now arise over the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.

🧍‍♂️ WHO WAS JHUROS FLORES?

Jhuros Flores was last seen alive on the night of June 23, after telling his family he was heading out to deliver an item to a nearby barangay. He never came home. According to his sister:

“He stopped replying. His phone was last active near the riverbank… after that, nothing.”

His family’s Facebook post pleading for help went viral — but no one expected the search to end in tragedy.

💀 THE GRIM DISCOVERY

Around 6:45 AM on June 29, a fisherman spotted a body floating near the shallow edge of the river and immediately alerted local authorities. Police later confirmed the identity as that of Jhuros Flores.

Key details from the scene:

He was wearing the same clothes from the night he disappeared

His wallet and phone were missing

There were visible bruises on his back and neck, according to initial reports from the SOCO (Scene of the Crime Operatives)

These findings have raised suspicions of foul play, though police have not made an official statement on the cause of death.

😭 FAMILY IN SHOCK AND GRIEF

As the body was pulled from the water, Jhuros’ mother let out a cry that stunned everyone nearby:

“What did they do to you, my son? You didn’t deserve this!”

His father, speechless and trembling, clutched his son’s cold body in disbelief.

🚨 POSSIBLE MOTIVES UNDER INVESTIGATION

While the case remains under investigation, police are considering several theories:

Robbery gone wrong? (due to missing valuables)

Personal vendetta? (rumors of online sabong-related disputes)

Targeted killing? (possible debts or under-the-table dealings)

📣 PUBLIC OUTRAGE SPREADS ONLINE

The hashtag #JusticeForJhuros has started trending across platforms, as thousands of netizens demand accountability and swift justice

“Another life taken too soon. Authorities must act fast. We won’t let this be forgotten,” one user posted.

🔎 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

✔️ An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death
✔️ CCTV footage near the river and nearby streets is being reviewed
