Alleged Abuse Prompted Josie Tallado to Hide

Josie Tallado
Last 19 October 2014, authorities launched a massive search for Josefina “Josie” Tallado, wife of Camarines Norte Gov. Edgardo Tallado and her female aide, Darlene Francisco.

The operation conducted by a combine force of military and police personnel was prompted after the black Toyota Fortuner that Mrs. Tallado and her aide last used was found abandoned in Lupi town. The vehicle, registered under the governor's name, still had its engine running, with headlights on, doors open and showed evidence of attempts to burn the vehicle.
