Jesus Crispin "Boying" Catibayan Remulla (Tagalog pronunciation: [rɛˈmuljɐ] (b. March 31, 1961) [citation needed] is a Filipino lawyer, influencer, politician and cabinet secretary serving since 2022 as Secretary of Justice. He tenured as representative of Cavite's 7th district from 2019 until 2022, a position he held previously in 2010 through 2013, and served as Senior Deputy Majority Leader of the Lower House.[1] He also served as provincial governor of Cavite from 2016 to 2019; and the representative of the province's 3rd district from 2004 to 2010; and the province's board member from 1992 to 1995. As a broadcaster, he hosts a radio program titled "Executive Session" over station DZRH. Remulla was an articulate opponent of ABS-CBN and was among the 70 congressmen who voted to reject the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN.[2]

His brother Gilbert, a former television reporter for ABS-CBN, was the representative of the 2nd district from 2001 to 2007. His other brother, Jonvic, is the current provincial governor.
