Philippines Latest News,Philippines Headlines

If the government wants to improve its track record in capturing fugitives, it should enforce laws against obstruction of justice as well as harboring criminals and persons with pending arrest warrants.

Ricardo Zulueta, trusted aide of former Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag, had been wanted by authorities since being tagged as a prime participant in the 2022 murders of broadcaster Percival “Percy Lapid” Mabasa and an inmate in the New Bilibid Prison. The nation next learned of Zulueta’s whereabouts only this year when he was reported to have died of heart failure on March 15 at the Bataan Peninsula Medical Center in Dinalupihan town where he was reportedly brought by his brother.

After three years in hiding, Palparan was arrested in August 2014 in a house in crowded Sta. Mesa, Manila by a composite team of the NBI and the military’s Naval Intelligence Group. A regional trial court in Bulacan had ordered his arrest in December 2011 for kidnapping, serious illegal detention and the disappearance of students Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeno.

If Apollo Quiboloy had not gotten the goat of the House of Representatives, the Senate and presumably the Marcos 2.0 administration, would he be on the run now, among the nation’s most wanted as an accused... The biggest show on wheels in the Philippines for 2024 is happening this weekend at the World Trade Center Manila and at the SMX Convention Center.
