NA-INQUEST ngayong araw sa Las Piñas Prosecutors Office si Juanito Jose Remulla III, panganay na anak ni Dept. of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla.

Nag-ugat ang kaso matapos magsagawa ng Controlled Delivery Operation ang NAIA-IADITG, PDEA SDO laban kay Remulla, matapos nitong tanggapin ang parcel na naglalaman ng 937 gramo ng pinatuyong dahon ng marijuana na may street value na 1,311,800 pesos.

Inaresto si Remulla sa Block 6, Lot 7, Primrose St., Ponte Verde, BF Resort Village, Talon Dos sa Las Piñas City, pasado alas onse ng umaga noong Martes.

Nabatid na galing ang parcel sa isang nangangalang Benjamin Huffman, mula sa San Diego, California, at kasalukuyan nang binaback-track ng mga otoridad.

Hindi pa malinaw kung ano ang koneksyon ni Remulla sa taong nagpadala ng parcel dahil hindi ito nagbigay ng anomang pahayag sa media magmula ng araw na maaresto ito hanggang masampahan ng kaso kanina.

Kaugnay nito ay nagsalita na rin si Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla sa sinapit ng kanyang pamangkin.

Sa Official Facebook Page ng gobernador ay nakasaad na: Si Juanito Jose Diaz Remulla III ay pamangking buo ko po.

Siya ay panganay na anak na lalak[i] ni Justice Secretary Boying Remulla.

Si Sec Boying po ay nasa Geneva ngayon at pauwi pa lamang bukas.

Nakapag-usap na po kami pagkatapos ng insidente na ito:

1. Sec Boying has pledged that he will not, in any way interfere, intervene, nor use any of his affiliations to influence the charges against his son.

2. I personally feel that while he deserves all of my empathy, there will be no support in terms of my position. While he is family, my oath as Cavite Governor and as a Public Servant is paramount above any of his alleged transgressions.

3. We would like to thank the PDEA for doing their job. We were never informed of their operation and they were correct in doing so. There should be no fear nor favor in the conduct of their duties.

4. If in any way, any family member who tries to influence the prosecution of this case then I will make sure to expose the matter right away. We will not tolerate an abuse of power in any way.

5. Our family is devastated with these developments most especially my 87 year old mother. We thank everyone for their calls of concern but rest assured that we are on top of the situation and that we shall abide in accordance with the due process of law.

6. What we are going through is what millions of Filipino families are also going through now. We have been asked numerous times by friends and associates to intervene with their family members’ cases and we have never in any way intervened. We are not about to break any rules now.

7. I hope this statement puts all speculations to rest. My brother is flying back home soon and he will issue a statement of his own.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa. (ROSSEL CALDERON)
