OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Si Juanito Jose Diaz Remulla III ay pamangking buo ko po.
Siya ay panganay na anak na lalake ni Justice Secretary Boying Remulla.
Si Sec Boying po ay nasa Geneva ngayon at pauwi na bukas, Oct 14.
Nakapag-usap na po kami pagkatapos ng insidente na ito:
1. Sec Boying has pledged that he will not, in any way interfere, intervene, nor use any of his affiliations to influence the charges against his son.
2. I personally feel that while he deserves all of my empathy, there will be no support extended in terms of using my position in government. While he is family, my oath as Cavite Governor and as a Public Servant is paramount above any of his alleged transgressions.
3. We would like to thank the PDEA for doing their job. We were never informed of their operation and they were correct in doing so. There should be no fear nor favor in the conduct of their duties.
4. If in any way, any family member who tries to influence the prosecution of this case then I will make sure to expose the matter right way. We will not tolerate an abuse of authority in any way.
5. Our family is devastated with these developments most especially my 87 year old mother. We thank everyone for their calls of concern but rest assured that we are on top of the situation and that we shall abide in accordance with the due process of law.
6. What we are going through is what millions of Filipino families are also going through now. We have been asked numerous times by friends and associates to intervene with their family members’ cases and we have never in any way meddled with the justice system. We are not about to break any rules now.
7. I hope this statement puts all speculations to rest. My brother is flying back home soon and he will issue a statement of his own.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa.
Ang inyong lingkod.
Juanito “Jonvic” Remulla Jr.
Governor, Cavite Province
