The camp of the suspended Bureau of Corrections chief says it will be 'filing the necessary pleadings' after a review of the prosecutors' resolution.
The Department of Justice found probable cause to file murder charges against suspended Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag and several others for the killing of radio broadcaster Percival"Percy Lapid" Mabasa and so-called middleman Jun Villamor, a national penitentiary inmate.
The DOJ said there is sufficient circumstantial evidence to establish that Bantag was the mastermind behind Lapid's death. "The prosecution notes that the timing of the uploaded videos and the commencement of the planning of [Lapid's] assassination is not coincidental."
