MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Justice has dismissed suspended Corrections chief Gerald Bantag’s motion to inhibit the department itself and the panel of prosecutors handling the murder cases he is facing over the killings of radio broadcaster Percy Lapid and alleged middleman, inmate Jun Villamor.

 

“Wherefore, premises considered, the instant motion is hereby denied for lack of merit,” the order dated January 17 and signed by the prosecution panel reads.

 

With this, the preliminary investigation into complaints against Bantag and his co-respondents will continue on January 24 with their submission of counter-affidavits.
