A window-less room at the National Bureau of Investigation awaits former police senior superintendent Cesar Mancao as he returns from the United States to stand as state’s witness in the murders of public relations practitioner Salvador ‘Bubby’ Dacer and driver Emmanuel Corbito.
The room though fully furnished is for all intents and purposes a detention cell even as we are being told the preparations are designed to ensure his total protection.
What secrets does Mancao really hold about who masterminded the dastardly political murders?

By the looks it the perceived or actual threats to this ex-policeman’s life must indeed be directly proportional to the massive security precautions for his arrival and de facto detention.
We are told 200 unarmed NBI agents are deployed at the airport to secure Mancao, apart from him being supplied with a bullet proof vest.
Manacao will be the last passenger to disembark from the plane.
(I can’t but have the eerie recollection that when Ninoy Aquino was assassinated in 1981 he too had worn a bullet proof vest but was led out first and escorted by side door to the airport tarmac where a lone assassin lay in waiting to shoot him in the head.)
When Mancao finally does unburden himself we certainly hope the poisoned air will be cleansed with the truth.
Most importantly, Filipinos want to know if earlier ‘striptease’ accounts are true that former president Joseph Estrada and Senator Panfilo Lacson (Mancao’s former boss at the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force) are involved.
Another personality whose name has been linked to the murders is businessman Dante Tan, central figure in the BW Resources stock market insider trading scam who is believed to be in self exile in Canada.
Bubby Dacer was the publicist of Tan when the scandal broke in 1999 stock market scam in 1999 with Estrada being tagged as having ordered GSIS to invest in BW Resources’ stocks which plummeted when the scam became public.
Among the bases for Estrada’s conviction on plunder charges and which contributed to his ouster in 2001 was the BW scandal.
Mancao may or may not hold the key and he knows his peace of mind, and life, may depends on what he will testify to in court.
His countrymen wait.

Sa kuratong baleleng maaring may responsibilidad si lacson , being the head of PAOCTF.
Dacer has many foes.
First he is the publisher of the customs weekly,dyan pa lang sang katutak na kaaway ang pwede mong maipon.Tapos PR man pa sya, ang hirap maging PR,
in able to build you have to destroy.
I think it really has to do with that BW inside trading thing.
Sana nga ma resolba na itong kaso na ito.
Ding, have you noticed Arnold Clavio’s documentaries on the disapearance Of the casino employee?
Malamang lahat yan ipagkokonekta
wala pa nga pala PAOCTF nung panahon ng KB(1995), PACC nga pala nun at si VP ERAP nga pala yung head ng PACC.
So I retract my statement about command responsbility.
Karl,
I am sure if you take time to peruse the posts I’ve linked to you’ll realize my reference to the BW case points to what Mancao MAY reveal.
And yes I am familiar with Igan’s reports.
(Disclosure: Yours truly was the one who brought Arnold over to GMA Network from DWIZ radio in 1980 when I reformatted DZBB into a full news station from being a music/drama station during the heyday of the now deceased Mang Paeng Yabut.)
I have visited @ midfield and read your link to the Dacer letters.
(Nice to have read that, it confirmed my opinion of Dacer having many enemies,and it opened me up to more information for better understanding,thanks for the link)
Mia culpa. Sorry for not clicking the links.
Now that I have read it, Let me clarify, I don’t think lacson is reponsible for Dacer’s abduction and killing.Someone powerful perhaps.
Mancao can say anything, affidavits are just the start to start an investigation, it must not be mistaken for the conclusion.(tama ba?)
Now if they resurrect the pagcor IT guy’s abduction and the KB before the campaign period, Lacson has to clear his name in an instant.
Kaya ko na banggit na responsable sya sa KB ay pag command responsibility na ang pinaguusapan. I was not pinpointing him as the mastermind.(baka ma libel pa ako, kaibigan pa naman ni erpat si senator,nakakahiya naman)
E yung iba di naman malinaw ang ebidensya sa pagdiin ke lacson.(sa tingin ko lang)
Ty for the additional info (re:igan)
‘I don’t think lacson is reponsible for Dacer’s abduction and killing.Someone powerful perhaps.’
A media guy did it.
I suppose you have also read the Dacer letters.
Me mga media nga na nabanggit don.
Now that Ping has officially quit the race to support another candidate, would that change things now, will his detractors change tactics,ewan natin.
Ding,
According to reports he was supposed to expose another anomalous infrastructure project.
But, would this be anything new? The world bank report was already tried and nothing happened in that investigation. He even showed log book entries from the LTA building of EC de Luna.
So what could be bigger than that? Would it be the Marikina Infanta road, that is the biggest locally funded project so far?
by “tried”, I mean nasubukan na and not “tried in court”.
