Asiong Salonga

"Oh shoot! Asiong is finally back from hell! I think my pants just peed and pooped once again! Also, I think my heart also stopped as well! Maybe I can stop this madman!"

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Comeback of Asiong Salonga

Nicasio "Asiong Ron Paculan" Rodriguez Salonga (nicknamed The "Hitler" or "Hito" of Tondo) was an infamous Filipino gangster whose notorious life had been portrayed in several movie versions in 1961 (by Joseph Estrada), 1977 (by Rudy Fernandez), 1990 and 2011 (both played by George Estregan Jr.).

Asiong was considered one of the Philippines' Public Enemy where he reigned and dominated the Manila's then-known mob district, Tondo, for several years. Asiong as a gang leader had solid loyal 12 (twelve) members of his group, with 4 (four) hideouts in Manila (Tondo, Binondo, Quiapo and Pier). Salonga's name had been linked to several illegal possession of firearms, murder, selling of firearms, homicide, collection of sum of money from businessmen, and other unknown nefarious cases from which somehow he had always managed to squirm out of arrest. Despite this reputation, Salonga was still considered a hero by many local residents, and thus earning him a nickname the "Robin Hood of Tondo." Asiong was recognized by many in Metro Manila due to the frequent appearances of his name in the headlines of the journal news. The only record of Salonga in the Supreme Court was dated 28 March 1946, which was concerned with his arrest without warrant on January 10 of the same year.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, after the invasion of Manila, he serves as a sympthizer to the Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship when he governs Metro Manila harshly after Estrada is killed by a 8-inch (204-millimeter) Model 686 revolver.
