Jesus Crispin "Boying" Catibayan Remulla (born March 31, 1961) is a Filipino politician from the province of Cavite. A member of the Nacionalista Party, he has been elected to three terms as a Member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, representing the Third District of Cavite. He first won election to Congress in 2004, and was re-elected in 2007.
Remulla is a graduate of the University of the Philippines College of Law. His father, Juanito, served as governor of Cavite for fourteen years. His brothers Gilbert, a former television reporter with the ABS-CBN Network, was the Representative from the Second District of Cavite from 2001 to 2007, and Juanito Victor C. Remulla, Jr. the former Vice-Governor and currently the Governor of Cavite. He is also a radio host for "Karambola" on DWIZ.
In 2001, he became the chief of staff of then Senator and former First Lady Luisa Pimentel-Estrada, wife of former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada and spokesperson of Puwersa ng Masa before running for Congress in a controversial 2004 election. During the campaign, he was upset by Governor Erineo "Ayong" Maliksi, who was a fellow member of Partido Magdalo, because of his support of then mayor of Silang, Cavite Ruben Madlangsakay, who ran as independent for congressman. He won as congressman in the district more than two years after the death of his predecessor, Napoleon R. Beratio.
