History Assassination of Mauricio Pulhin
In the afternoon of June 15, 2025, 61-year-old Mauricio "Morie" Pulhin, the committee's Technical Staff director, was attending his daughter's birthday party in a gated subdivision in Barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City when two motorcycle-riding assailants drove by and shot him at close range. Although he was rushed to the Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Police officials noted that based on evidence, the shooting was carefully planned out by the assailants.
House Speaker Martin Romualdez issued a statement the next day denouncing the "brutal act of violence in the strongest possible terms" and called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation.
On June 24, police authorities separately arrested two of the seven suspected perpetrators of Pulhin's assassination, with one of the suspects, an alleged middleman given the alias "Balong", testifying that an unmarried couple were behind the attack. Balong claimed that Pulhin was targeted due to his intention to file charges of estafa and theft against the couple.
