JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla yesterday met anew the families of the 30 missing cockfighting aficionados and assured them that the government will remain unrelenting in investigating the disappearances.
Also present during the meeting were other officials of the Department of Justice (DOJ), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and Philippine National Police (PNP).
Government prosecutors in December last year found probable cause to charge six suspects in the disappearance of six cockfighting enthusiasts from Tanay, Rizal.
Remulla updated the families of the missing “sabungeros” of new developments and assured them that the DOJ, NBI and PNP are firming up its case build-up.
“We are gathering more evidence, and putting a lot of resources and time to solve the case,” Remulla told the families.
The Justice secretary vowed to have a regular meeting with the victims’ families to give them an update on the government’s efforts.
Meanwhile, the families of the victims expressed gratitude to Remulla for his efforts to solve the case.
