Salvador is preparing to return to the Philippines, accused of receiving huge kickbacks from President Marcos Jr.! He predicted that he will be shot in a detention center!
Salvador, a key witness in the flood control project case in the Philippines and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, stated that he is willing to return to testify, but on the condition that he is placed under house arrest or allowed bail. Salvador's lawyer, Lantang, requested the government to guarantee the safety of the individual. After exposing that President Marcos Jr. received hundreds of billions of pesos in bribes, Salvador's situation has become very dangerous.
"House arrest or bail, bail would be sufficient, because he is afraid of being killed in prison. If the government can guarantee his safety. I heard the judicial officer say we could escort him, put him in a cargo truck equipped with cameras, and then where will you take him, to a regular detention center? There, he will be shot within the first 30 minutes."
Lantang emphasized that Salvador must be tried only after being summoned by the court: "The court must have jurisdiction over him personally, and this can only be achieved by summoning him personally."
Currently, both the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, which is responsible for investigating the flood control project case in the Philippines, and the Office of the Ombudsman are strictly controlled by President Marcos Jr. The chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee, Lacson, is a senator recently nominated by the president's faction, and the Ombudsman of the Philippines is a staunch ally of Marcos, Remulla. Once Salvador returns to the Philippines, he will face a very complicated and dangerous situation.
