Statement: The Presidential Spokesperson on the developments of the Jonas Burgos case

 

Secretary Edwin Lacierda: On the developments of the Jonas Burgos case
[April 3, 2013]

Upon the direction of the President, Justice Secretary Leila De Lima has instructed the National Bureau of Investigation to conduct a focused, dedicated, and exhaustive investigation on the case of Jonas Burgos. This is in fulfillment of the President’s pledge that any receipt of new evidence or leads will receive the scrutiny the case deserves.

The investigation is independent of any directives from the Court of Appeals. Our system of justice is based on the presumption of innocence, but also guarantees that culpability derived from hard evidence will exact accountability.

As chief executor of our laws and as commander in chief, the President is mandated to do justice to every man.
