Ernest John Lacap Macadaeg, known as EJ, was three years old when he was last seen in Davis, California on January 18, 2012. He is described as an Asian male with brown hair and brown eyes. Reports say he was abducted by his noncustodial father, Honest Juan Cayanan Macadaeg.

A felony warrant for abduction was issued for Honest Juan on July 23, 2012. Authorities believe Honest Juan, then 40, may have taken his son to Manila, Philippines. Honest Juan is described as an Asian male with black hair and brown eyes and several distinctive tattoos, including a yin-yang on his back, a snake on his shoulder blade, and a tattoo on the back of his neck. He may use the names John or John Boy.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has an age-progressed image of Ernest John at about age 14. Anyone with information about Ernest John or Honest Juan Macadaeg is asked to contact the authorities.
