For those who want to get an update on the missing cockfighters, this has been on the news almost every hour. The government has launched a retrieval on Taal Lake, where hundreds of dead cockfighters are dumped.
This escalated quickly. From an speculation of rumor only to national matters with full search operation with Philippines coast guard.
I wonder if they can get substantial evidence of legit victim or they will just use planted evidence since Taal Volcano is very active lately while the missing sabungero is missing for almost 5 years.
I hope they will have justice.
According to the Justice Department investigator’s interview, even if no bones are retrieved, a case can still be filed based on circumstantial evidence and the whistleblower’s submission of videos.
Recordings and other materials can be used to build a strong case, allowing whistleblowers to collaborate on the story, regardless of the investigation’s outcome.
The primary concern is that the masterminds may attempt to flee the country. Therefore, authorities should issue a watch order or a hold departure order to prevent them from escaping to other countries.
