A “massive” manhunt is on for former Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag and his deputy, Ricardo Zulueta, who face arrest warrants for the murders of broadcaster Percy Lapid and the alleged middleman in the hit, Bilibid inmate Cristito “Jun” Villamor.
Neither Gerald Bantag nor his long-time trusted aide, Ricardo Zulueta could be found yesterday by law enforcers who tried to serve arrest warrants for the two top former corrections officials at their listed home addresses.
Suspended Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag and several others, including inmates, will face court trial for the killing of broadcast journalist Percival “Percy Lapid” Mabasa and the alleged middleman in his kill contract, Cristito “Jun” Villamor.
As pieced together by the family of broadcaster Percival “Percy Lapid” Mabasa, the contract to kill him was put out in September, shortly after he criticized in his radio program a government official for unexplained wealth.
