A businessman from Nueva Ecija and his assistant remain missing days after leaving for a business errand.

The vehicle they were riding was found burned at a vacant lot in Pangasinan.

Michael "Niknok" Lagrana and his assistant, Julius Diaz, both residents of Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija, left home around 2 p.m. on January 6, 2025.

Lagrana told his wife, Jhen, that they would collect payment in Cuyapo. However, they never returned.

The blue pickup truck they used was found burned in Barangay Poblacion West, Umingan, Pangasinan.

The Lagrana family is appealing for help, urging anyone with information about the missing individuals to come forward.

Police have not released a statement just yet as investigation continues.

Authorities in Nueva Ecija are coordinating with the Umingan Police Station to solve the case.
