Palace: Marcos insists cases vs Atong Ang must be evidence-based
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. wants sufficient evidence before charges are filed in the 'missing sabungeros' case, according to Malacañang.
This directive comes after the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed kidnapping, homicide, and serious illegal detention cases against businessman Charlie 'Atong' Ang.
Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro stated that the President prefers thorough investigations over rushed proceedings that may lack evidence, thus protecting innocent individuals.
Castro also clarified that the executive branch cannot guarantee that Ang will not receive special treatment from the courts.
