A subpoena has been deemed served to suspended Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag on Tuesday in connection with the case of the killing of journalist Percy Lapid, a prosecutor said.
“The subpoena was served to the last known address of [suspended BuCor director general] Bantag in Caloocan,” senior assistant state prosecutor Charlie Guhit told reporters in a message. “Per information received, the barangay captain told the process server that DG Bantag is not anymore staying in Caloocan after his appointment in BuCor,” he added.
Guhit pointed out that the subpoena against Bantag, who was tagged as the alleged mastermind in Lapid’s killing, is deemed served because the National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police only provided Bantag’s address in Caloocan.“The NBI and PNP should inform the panel of prosecutors by way of manifestation or appropriate pleading about the new address of DG Bantag before we issue another subpoena to DG Bantag,” Guhit said.
