MYSTERIES YOU WISH WERE SOLVED, RESOLVED OR UNVEILED.

-

1. THE TRUTH OR FALSEHOOD OF CHARGES RAISED AT THE SENATE HEARING ON THE SMUGGLING OF P6.5 BILLION WORTH OF SHABU AT THE MANILA CUSTOMS REGARDING THE ALLEGED INVOLVEMEN­T OF THE PRESIDENT’S SON AND SON-IN-LAW.

Along with Sen. Antonio Trillanes’s accusation of unexplaine­d wealth against President Duterte, the mystery may continue to be wrapped.

2. WHETHER BIEN UNIDO, BOHOL MAYOR GISELA BENDONG-BONIEL WAS REALLY KILLED AND HER BODY DUMPED INTO THE SEA OR SHE JUST DISAPPEARE­D BECAUSE SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND AND A FAILED MARRIAGE WITH BOHOL PROVINCIAL BOARD MEMBER NINO BONIEL, ACCUSED MASTERMIND.

Despite the legal precept that the “body of the crime” can still be establishe­d even without the body of the victim, lawyers of Boniel and his co-accused exploited failure produce Gisela’s body in trying to raise doubt in the public mind. How would the court decide?

3. WHO THE MASTERMIND IN THE GUNKILLING OF THE ERMITA, CEBU CITY BARANGAY CAPTAIN IMOK RUPINATA WAS.

Police say it was not a political killing, as some Team Rama members suspect. Prosecutor­s and the court will have the chance to assess the evidence whether the market vendors chief named by the police was really the brains. Until then, the suspicion remains that someone else more powerful and with resources hired the gunmen who shot “Kap Imok.”

4. HOW TRUE WERE DUTERTE’S STATEMENTS THAT KOREAN MAFIA CONTROLS DRUGS AND PROSTITUTI­ON IN CEBU AND CEBU HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF DRUGS IN THE COUNTRY.

Raised separately last Feb. 4 and March 9 by Duterte, the charges were never confirmed by anyone else, not even by PDEA and the police whose officials vaguely said the situation no longer exists. Data given by the president were too sketchy and unclear to be verifiable.
