"Oh shoot! Asiong is finally back from hell! I think my pants just peed and pooped once again! Also, I think my heart also stopped as well! Maybe I can stop this madman!" --Su Ji-Hoon, The Comeback of Asiong Salonga Nicasio "Asiong Ron Paculan" Rodriguez Salonga (nicknamed The "Hitler" or "Hito" of Tondo) was an infamous Filipino gangster whose notorious life had been portrayed in several movie versions in 1961 (by Joseph Estrada), 1977 (by Rudy Fernandez), 1990 and 2011 (both played by George Estregan Jr.). Asiong was considered one of the Philippines' Public Enemy where he reigned and dominated the Manila's then-known mob district, Tondo, for several years. Asiong as a gang leader had solid loyal 12 (twelve) members of his group, with 4 (four) hideouts in Manila (Tondo, Binondo, Quiapo and Pier). Salonga's name had been linked to several illegal possession of firearms, murder, selling of firearms, homicide, collection of sum of money from businessmen, and other unknown nefarious cases from which somehow he had always managed to squirm out
On October 7, 1951, Manila gang leader Nicasio "Asiong" Salonga was killed by close range fire in Tondo a few days before his 27th birthday, the perpetrator believed to be a certain Ernesto Reyes, member of a rival gang. The son of a police officer, Salonga was imprisoned in Bilibid in May 1944. He escaped when he was about to be transferred to Camp Nichols in Pasay in the same year, only to be arrested again in 1946 in order to complete his full sentence of six months and one day. Salonga gained notoriety in the postwar period as "Tondo's kingpin", assembling a gang of 12 key members to disrupt and dominate Manila's mobs. Despite his life of crime and defiance to the law, he was regarded as a folk hero as well, being compared by some to Robin Hood as he lavished the poor with his mobster wealth. Politics also loomed large in the elusive Salonga's career. He was a loyal supporter of the Liberal Party since its formation in 1946. Thus, when the gangster met his demise five years later, a political aspect was also explored at the time sin Copyright ©armywing.pages.dev 2025 |
