PRESS STATEMENT OF SENATOR CHIZ ESCUDERO

ON MANCAO

I hope the motivation of former police officer Cezar Mancao in returning to the country is to ferret out the truth in the murders of Salvador "Bubby" Dacer and his driver Manuel Corbito. Partisan politics has no place in this investigation. We should let the law deal with those responsible for their deaths.

Mancao should not allow himself to be used as a pawn in the demolition of key personalities in the opposition.

I encourage those involved in investigating this case to exercise caution as this could potentially be used to discredit the opposition as a whole.
