MANILA — Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla assured families of missing sabungeros that the government has not given up on the kidnapping and serious illegal detention cases of their kin.

Remulla earlier said that the DOJ was taking seriously the statement of one of the accused in the cases that the missing sabungeros were buried in Taal Lake.

“Talagang hindi kami naggi-give up, we have not given up on anything or anybody, ganon lang talaga mabagal minsan ang kaso, ito po ay proseso kinakailangang may ebidensya na makakalap at ginagawa ho namin ang lahat,” he said.  

Without divulging details, Remulla said he was in close coordination with Philippine National Police chief Gen. Nicolas Torre.

“Basta ano, we processing the information first pero may arrangement na kami PNP Chief Torre,” Remulla said.

Remulla said the testimony of the accused was corroborated by additional evidence.

“Meron kaming corroborative evidence na kasama. Basta meron kaming ibang klaseng evidence pa,” he said.
