“All from Sitio Kapihan, Socorro, Surigao…Still at large, cases have been filed, and we expect the courts to issue warrants,” Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said.

The DOJ however did not provide details on the basis for filing the charges and the participation of each accused.

“The thing speaks for itself… kung paano sila gumalaw na ang bata ay kanilang ginamit sa iba’t ibang pamamaraan at kung paano nila trinaffic itong mga ito,” he explained.

The Justice chief said the filing of the cases is “just the beginning.”

“Kasi marami pang angles na dapat…and of course sabi ko, preliminarily filed in Surigao because eventually we believe that the cases should be tried here in manila or another venue,” he added.
