Accountability & legal records
This is not a “clean record” certification. It means no case has been entered and verified in this database yet. Check the Office of the Ombudsman, Sandiganbayan, and Supreme Court directly.
In the News
Reports from established newsrooms and official records that name this official in a case, investigation, audit or controversy. Each item links to the original. Being named in the news is not proof of wrongdoing; check the legal records above for the official status of any case.
Pulse check
Do you approve of how Michael Figueras is doing the job?
Pulse check, not a scientific survey: anyone can vote once per device and change their vote any time. It shows how site visitors feel, not public opinion as a whole, and says nothing about any case or allegation.

Elected in the 2023 barangay & SK elections (DILG directory). Matched by last name only within Ilocos Sur; a common surname is very likely to include unrelated families. The list above shows only the punong barangay and SK chairs.
A surname bloc is officials elected in one province who carry the same surname as last or middle name; barangay & SK officials with the same last name are listed separately. Shared names may not mean kinship, and a bloc is not evidence of wrongdoing. Definition and data:BetterGov.ph Dynasties
