Go abductors face robbery, kidnapping charges
« on: November 13, 2012, 11:41:39 PM »
The National Bureau of Investigation filed with the Dept. of Justice a criminal complaint against 10 people allegedly involved in the abduction of convicted killer Rolito Go and his nephew Klemens Yu, DOJ Secretary Leila M. De Lima announced Tuesday.

The NBI is the Philippines' premier investigating body and is an attached agency of the DOJ.

Charged for violation of the Revised Penal Code, particularly Article 267 or kidnapping and serious illegal detention and Article 294 or robbery with violence against or intimidation of persons were Emilio Ortiz, Lawrence Yurong; a certain "alias Bong"; Fernando Fransisco (also known as Pando); Armando Mondero; Jerry Duenas; a certain "Reggie"; a certain "Kumander Rico"; a certain minimum security prison trustee of the New Bilibid Prisons, and Go's cook.

The NBP trustee and Go's cook have yet to be identified.

Ortiz was the alleged mastermind behind Go's abduction.

Only Mondero and Duenas are under the NBI custody.

They have manifested to help authorities in their investigation.

Go and his nephew Yu disappeared from the NBP on Aug. 14, 2012 and appeared two days later.

Go insisted he did not escape but they were abducted.

The DOJ, NBI and the Philippine National Police conducted an investigation on the allegations of abduction.

Records show a confidential informant volunteered to give an information, including photos on the identities of the suspects responsible for Go's abduction.

The photos were presented to Go and Yu, who both identified Mondero, Duenas and Yurong.

In his sworn affidavit, Mondero identified Ortiz as the mastermind of the whole operation and was assisted by alias "Bong", Yurong, and Fransisco.

The three reportedly recruited him and Duenas.

Mondero said Ortiz was the one who secured fake NBI identification cards and provided the firearms and the vehicle, which is a black Ford Everest with an NBI commemorative plate, in perpetrating the abduction.

He added that it was "Bong", Armando, Mondero, Duenas and Yurong who went inside and forcibly herded Go and Yu in the car owned by Go's nephew.

"Yurong's contacts (the cook and the trustee) inside the NBP gave them information on Rolito Go's schedule and whereabouts," Mondero said.

Go and Yu were brought to San Vicente, Sto. Tomas, Batangas with the assistance of Yurong's cohorts, who were identified as Kumander Rico and a certain Reggie, and were held captive in a nipa hut.

Mondero said that Kumander Rico asked Go if the latter could afford to give the amount of P5 million "because they know that he is the owner of Century Tuna, has a lending business, and was reportedly involved in illegal drugs."

On the other hand, Mondero heard Ortiz, "Bong" and Fransisco negotiating with Rolito Go's sister Julie Yu when they were already at Ortiz's house in Capitol Subdivision, Caloocan City.

He also said that Yurong and Duenas, guarding the victims, together with Reggie and another unidentified male suspect, were also demanding P1 million from the victims. - PNA
