Let detained Aegis Juris head rot in Senate jail, Zubiri says
The head of the Aegis Juris fraternity should "rot" in Senate jail for refusing to fully cooperate in the inquiry into the death of Horacio "Atio" Castillo III, Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri said on Sunday.
In a radio dzBB interview, Zubiri said Arvin Balag, the fraternity's Grand Praefectus, has yet to express willingness to cooperate in the inquiry.
Balag is currently detained at the Senate after he was cited in contempt for refusing to answer questions from the members of the Senate public order committee investigating Castillo’s death.
Balag refused to confirm his position in the fraternity after Senator Grace Poe asked him to do so.
"Sa ngayon wala pa siyang pinapadalang feelers at kung mayroon man siyang pinapadalang feelers, bahala siya sa buhay niya," Zubiri said.
"Mabulok siya doon. Dahil unang-una masyado siyang duwag. Ayaw niyang aminin na siya yung leader ng kanilang fraternity. Tama yung sinabi ni Senator Grace [Poe] na anong klaseng leader ito, na he doesn't man up," he added.
Zubiri pointed out that it was clear in leaflets and several other documents that Balag was the group's leader, yet he refuses to admit it.
"Siya po yung head ng fraternity kaya galit na galit yung mga myembro dahil common knowledge naman na siya yung leader, ayaw niyang aminin. Ginagago na naman yung committee namin. Kaya hindi po kami pumayag at we placed him under contempt and arrest," he said.
Zubiri said Balag will stay in detention until the Senate discusses Castillo's case again after their month-long break.
"Ang mangyayari sa kanya siguro pagbalik after break, before we can discuss na Atio Castillo case again, e mabubulok muna siya diyan sa Senado," he said.
"Let him feel and contemplate on his future lalung-lalo na sa kaso ni Atio," he added. — BM, GMA News
