Jesus Crispin "Boying" Catibayan Remulla (Tagalog pronunciation: [rɛˈmuljɐ]; born March 31, 1961) [citation needed] is a Filipino lawyer and politician serving as the Secretary of Justice since 2022 in the Cabinet of President Bongbong Marcos. He previously served two stints in the House of Representatives: he represented Cavite's 3rd district from 2004 to 2010, then the newly created 7th district from 2010 to 2013 and from 2019 to 2022. He was a Deputy Speaker during the 15th Congress (2010–13) and was the Senior Deputy Majority Leader in the 18th Congress (2019–22). In the latter role, he was an articulate opponent of ABS-CBN and was among the 70 House members who voted to reject the broadcast network's franchise renewal.[1][2] He also served as governor of Cavite from 2016 to 2019 and a member of the provincial board from 1992 to 1995. As a broadcaster, he hosts a radio program titled "Executive Session" on DZRH.

He is member of the Remulla political dynasty of Cavite. His brother, Jonvic, is also an incumbent Cabinet member as the Secretary of the Interior and Local Government. His father, Juanito, was the provincial governor for fourteen years. His other brother, Gilbert, a former television reporter for ABS-CBN, was the representative of the 2nd district from 2001 to 2007. His son, Crispin Diego, succeeded him in Congress, while his other son, Francisco Gabriel, is a member of the Cavite Provincial Board.
