“Pero kung hindi tumalima si Boying, si [Secretary of Justice], na mag-step down, ay hindi ako susuko kung may warrant ako. Bakit ako susuko, e di niluto na naman nila ako? Pero pag wala si Boying, yan pwede na ako sumuko,” he also said. Lapid was ambushed and killed near his neighborhood in Las Piñas City on October 3.
