SunStar Editorial: Anatomy of impunity
ESCAPE ARTIST. Cardiopulmonary arrest recently released Ruben Ecleo Jr. from fully serving his jail terms. Filipinos seeking justice and an end to the culture of impunity are still drawing unsettling lessons from the life of a fugitive who stayed for the longest time under the radar of authorities as the country’s “Most Wanted Person.” (SunStar file)
+ May 16, 2021 THE death of Ruben Ecleo Jr. following cardiopulmonary arrest on May 13 is anticlimactic for the Filipinos who remember Alona Bacolod-Ecleo, Arbeth Sta. Ana-Yongco and the hapless Bacolod family.
Ecleo Jr. was the supreme master of the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association (PBMA), a religious organization started by his father Ruben Sr. He was incarcerated at the New Bilibid Prison for a graft conviction passed by the Sandiganbayan in 2006.
