JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla has ruled out the possibility of the involvement of other masterminds in the killing of broadcaster Percival “Percy Lapid” Mabasa last October 3, aside from suspended Bureau of Corrections Director-General Gerald Bantag.
“We are not convinced as of now that this case stops with Bantag. It is our hope that the investigation will continue until the real mastermind is unmasked,” Mabasa said. “We have to understand that Director General Bantag has the rank of undersecretary as BuCor chief. It is only logical na mas mataas pa sa kanya [that there is someone with a higher rank than him]. Then he should be very powerful,” he added.
“None. That’s too far-fetched, This is different. We are talking about following the money [trail] and the conversations. We cannot bring it to that level. That is political. That is already the political level. We are not concerned about politics. We’re concerned about the crimes,” he pointed out.
