Kaban ni D_BystandeR: NAGNUOD ANG HUHUNGIHONG MAHITUNGOD SA KINUOTAY SA KASO???
Long before this news of an Ampatuan
involved in the massacre of 58 people in Maguindanao, I have already read a
news report in PDI few months ago about the claim of Gov. Mangudadatu's lawyer
that money were "changing hands" with the Ampatuans and the DOJ
prosecutors headed by one Atty. Baraan. But maybe it's hard to prove but the
result now coming out that one member of the Ampatuan family - Sajid Islam
Ampatuan, who was the acting governor of Maguindanao at the time of the
massacre and is now released on bail in the amount of P11.6M (paid at the rate
of P200K per victim of the total 58 people) - can easily connect to the
"story about 'money changing hands,' because with the evidence of 58
people mercilessly being massacred by the Ampatuans and yet there is already
one being release on bail, it will not take long, God forbid, for additional
Ampatuans to be released on bail because that family has plenty of "money
to burn." It is imperative at this point that P-Noy gives an official statement
regarding this "highly disgusting news" to find out how does it
affect him, especially that he made a pledge that before his term ends he will
see to it that the Maguindanao massacre victims will be given justice that the
grieving families deserved. What kind of justice does he mean when one family
member of the accused is already out on bail? I just hope this will not signal
as the beginning for all the Ampatuans to be released on bail because, as what
the presiding judge said, the prosecutors were not able to present strong
evidence to stop the court from issuing the release order for the bailed
criminal.
