Statement of CHR spokesperson, Atty Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the case of Richard Santillan

  • December 12, 2018
  • 4:16 AM

The death of Richard Santillan, bodyguard of former Biliran representative Glenn Chong, is unfortunate, especially that it is laced with questions on the circumstances of the crossfire that ensued between the police and Santillan. The Commission on Human Rights urges the government to investigate in the interest of the truth and making perpetrators possibly accountable should there be any lapses or irregularities resulting in the curtailment of the right to life. CHR-Region IV-A has already dispatched a Quick Response Team to aid in this purpose.
