PDEA Criticized by Netizens for Hiding Face of Remulla’s Son After Arrested
The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) was criticized by the netizens for allegedly hiding the face of DOJ Chief Remulla’s son.
The mugshot of Juanito Jose Diaz Remulla III, the son of Justice Secretary Boying Remulla, surprised some online users. Juanito Jose Diaz Remulla III, Remulla’s son, was detained by PDEA agents in Las Pias City on Tuesday for possessing a package containing almost one kilogram of “kush” or high-grade marijuana.
Only on October 13 did the authorities make the suspect’s detention public, much to Sec. Remulla. Remulla III’s mugshot was made public on Friday, but internet users weren’t pleased with it because they couldn’t see the suspect’s face.
Some netizens lamented that when an ordinary person is arrested, their face is exposed but if it’s the Secretary’s son it was blurred. Some asserted that when you have influence, things are really different and the authorities treat you differently.
Meanwhile, TV Patrol revealed Remulla III’s face in their news story. based on the snippets on Twitter. Remulla III’s face is obscured in the PDEA’s mugshot, but they have yet to provide an explanation. The suspect is currently being prosecuted for violating RA 9165, and no bail has been set.
After his son was detained in a significant drug bust, the online community called for Remulla to quit his position. In a statement, Remulla made it plain that he will not interfere with or change the circumstances around his son and “will let justice run its own course.”
