Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla on Wednesday ruled out the possibility of placing suspended prisons chief Gerald Bantag under the government’s witness protection program.The Justice chief added that anyone tagged as the alleged mastermind of a case cannot be considered a state witness.
“By the way, I’d like to remind everybody this case… was practically solved in 17 days. Okay? So, I think we can say that the investigating bodies have done a good job,” the President said. The police and the NBI have filed murder charges against Bantag and BuCor Deputy Security Officer Ricardo Zulueta before the Department of Justice.
He was so upset, in fact, that he skipped the Sept. 9 University of Perpetual Help graduation ceremonies for inmates at the New Bilibid Prison and did not report for work that day. Earlier, NBI supervising agent Eugene Javier said they were not discounting the possibility that there may be a more powerful mastermind behind Bantag, although he said they had no evidence of this.
