MANILA, Philippines (Updated 12:30 p.m.) — Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag is suspended for 90 days to give way for a “fair, impartial investigation” on the death of a detainee at the New Bilibid Prison who is said to be one of two “middlemen” in the fatal ambush of radio commentator Percy Lapid.

 

Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla announced this at a press conference on Friday, saying that he was acting on orders from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to show that there are “no sacred cows in this administration.”

 

Remulla initially said that Bantag is suspended indefinitely, but the formal notice of his suspension said that he is suspended for 90 days effective immediately.
