From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 1, 2021): Murder raps vs. law enforcers in March ops recommended (By Benjamin Pulta)
A special investigating team has recommended the filing of murder charges against “certain” law enforcers tagged in the killing of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Cavite official Emmanuel Asuncion in the so-called “Bloody Sunday” operations in March, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said on Wednesday.
“In the case of the death of the Evangelista spouses (Chai Lemita and Ariel), the NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) is winding up its interviews of witnesses,” Guevarra said.
Chai Lemita and Ariel are members of the Ugnayan ng Mamamayan Laban sa Pagwawasak ng Kalikasan at Kalupaan.
He said the report of the Department of Justice’s Administrative Order 35 Special Investigating Team will be out “in about two weeks.”
Guevarra said investigation on the deaths of two Dumagat indigenous leaders is still ongoing.
“The deaths of Puroy dela Cruz and Randy dela Cruz were not included in the probe as no cause-oriented connection was established. Other SIT investigations are going on,” Guevarra said.
The police operations in Calabarzon on March 7 this year have resulted in the arrest of six people in Laguna and Rizal and deaths of nine -- six in Rizal, two in Batangas and one in Cavite.
A search warrant issued by Manila Judge Jose Lorenzo dela Rosa had been issued on Asuncion in his home in Rosario, Cavite.
Police said a pursuit operation resulted in the shooting of Asuncion at the Workers’ Assistance Center in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
