Hands Off Bicol People’s Lawyer Atty. Bart Rayco!

At approximately 6:00 a.m. today, staff at Jollikod, a local eatery in Legazpi City owned by the family of Atty. Bartolome “Bart” Rayco, discovered two bullets ominously left at the entrance. The bullets were bound with black ribbons, one tethered to a piece of stone wrapped in paper and plastic. The paper contained a threatening message that read: “Atty. Bart Rayco MALAPIT KA NA!!” (Atty. Bart Rayco, your end is near!!!). Earlier, witnesses reported seeing unidentified men on a motorcycle stop outside the premises at around 4:00 a.m.

On DOJ’s grandstanding narrative regarding financing terrorism charges vs. CERNET

The DOJ must be reminded of its ethical duty: prosecutors are entrusted not with securing convictions at all costs, but with ensuring that justice is served.

The use of fabricated evidence and the solicitation of false testimony constitute not only ethical violations but egregious affronts to justice.
