MANILA, Philippines — The family of Percy Lapid is calling on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to lend a “louder” voice in calls for justice for the broadcast commentator killed in an ambush in Las Piñas City last Monday.

“As much as possible, maybe it would help if the voice of the president is much louder,” Lapid’s brother, journalist Roy Mabasa told CNN Philippines’ The Source in Filipino on Thursday.

Mabasa said they asked this from Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos, who visited Lapid’s wake on Wednesday, along with appeals to focus on the case of his brother so that he does not end up being just another statistic.
