Former Bureau of Corrections head Gerald Bantag is still at large, nearly four years after facing murder charges related to the deaths of broadcaster Percival "Percy Lapid" Mabasa and alleged middleman Cristito "Jun" Villamor Palaña.
Most recently, the Philippine National Police conducted an operation at a poultry farm in Sitio Alupapan, Barangay Pugol, Lamut, Ifugao, but failed to find him.
Continued Pursuit Amid Elusiveness
We will not allow the passage of time or repeated attempts to evade arrest to weaken our resolve.
Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., PNP Chief
The police arrived at the farm early on November 1 based on a tip-off regarding Bantag's alleged disguise as a poultry worker. However, he was not present during their raid.
