ILIGAN CITY ‒ The Umpa Bangcola family scored a victory in its legal battle with its chief political rival when former Salvador, Lanao del Norte Mayor Johnny Tawan-tawan was arrested at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City last April 1, Maundy Thursday.
It took five years for the family to get justice over the death of the family matriarch, but for them, they said, it was worth the wait.
In a press conference Saturday, Abdul Nasser “Bebot” Umpa Bangcola said the family got a sigh of relief following the arrest of Tawan-tawan. Tawan-tawan is now under hospital arrest after he tested COVID-19 positive apart from having a heart problem.
