CA affirms Bantag’s indictment, arrest order on murder raps

SunStar Publishing Inc.

THE Court of Appeals has affirmed the indictment and the issuance of arrest warrant against former Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag , who was tagged as the brains behind the murder of radio broadcaster Percy Lapid .

It cited a Supreme Court ruling that “only the OSG may bring or defend actions on behalf of the Republic of the Philippines, or represent the People or State before the SC and the CA.” The SC said the rationale behind the ruling is that in a criminal case, the state is the party affected by the dismissal of the criminal action and not the private complainant.
