MANILA, Philippines — Following suspended Bureau of Corrections Director General Gerald Bantag’s meltdown on live TV, the Department of Justice said Friday allegations against him in connection with the killings of broadcaster Percy Lapid and New Bilibid Prison detainee Jun Villamor should be answered in the right forum.

 

“There is a proper forum and a proper time to thresh this all out,” the DOJ said in a statement, referring to the process of answering the complaints against Bantag through a counter-affidavit. “This is a sworn statement answering all the allegations in the complaint. He will be given that chance.”

 

Bantag appeared earlier Friday on SMNI, the network owned by controversial preacher Apollo Quiboloy, and angrily dared Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla to resign as he supposedly lacked credibility owing to his son’s arrest on drug possession charges.
