Angeles City Task Force Mobilizes to Find Missing Widow Tess Mamac

In a determined response to a concerning disappearance, leaders of Barangay Balibago in Angeles City have established a specialized task force to bolster search and rescue operations for Tess Mamac, who has been missing since February 12, 2026. The initiative aims to coordinate efforts and maximize resources in locating Mamac and her driver, who are both unaccounted for.

Deployment of Resources Along Key Route

Balibago village chief Joseph “PG” Ponce announced the deployment of at least four vehicles and four motorcycles along the Mabalacat–Concepcion–Magalang Road route. The team is actively conducting inquiries and gathering information from residents and establishments along this path, hoping to uncover leads or directly locate Mamac. The operation remains focused on the short route reportedly taken by Mamac’s vehicle on the night she vanished.

Investigation Details and CCTV Footage

Authorities have traced three possible routes from Mabalacat to Magalang, where Mamac’s car was later found abandoned near the town plaza. According to the investigation, CCTV footage monitored from Barangay Dau in Mabalacat City to Magalang revealed that the vehicle traveled for less than an hour before being parked and left in the plaza area. The family's driver, identified as Emmanuel Celeste Tolentino, is also missing, adding urgency to the search.

Family’s Public Appeal for Assistance

Tess Mamac is the widow of the late Balibago Chairman Rodelio "Tony" Mamac Sr. Her son, Rodelio "RM" Mamac Jr., along with his three younger siblings—Rap, Don King, and Patty—have made a heartfelt public appeal for information. In a statement on social media, RM urged, "Please help us bring our Mama home. Her car was last seen on February 12, 2026, around 8:45–8:49 PM, exiting Balibago en route to Mabalacat. Her car is a 2019 Toyota Innova V with plate number CAQ 2482. She was also with our dog, Bubbles, a female mini Yorkshire Terrier. Our message box is open for any info you might have. Thank you."

Ongoing Efforts and Community Involvement

Barangay officials have assured the public that the search will continue relentlessly until Mamac and her driver are found. Authorities are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward to aid the ongoing investigation. The task force’s efforts highlight a community-driven approach, leveraging local knowledge and resources to address this critical situation.
