Justice Secretary Vitaliano N. Aguirre called on Mr. Dexter Carlos Sr., the security guard whose family was murdered in the San Jose Del Monte Bulacan Massacre, to let him know what other assistance can the DOJ offer to help him.
“We want Mr. Dexter Carlos Sr., to know that the Department of Justice is more than willing to extend any assistance that he may need in getting justice for what was done to his family. This is in addition to the legal assistance being offered by the Public Attorney’s Office to him. If he feels threatened or if he fears for his safety, we will study if he can be placed under the Witness Protection Program which the DOJ administers during the duration of the trial of the case to be filed against the suspects. If qualified, we will expedite his admission into the program”, Secretary Aguirre said.
Secretary Aguirre has earlier ordered the NBI to conduct an independent parallel probe of the killings.
“We call on Mr. Dexter Carlos Sr., or anyone who knows him to communicate with our office on how we can best help him. Losing one’s family to criminals is a very hard experience for anyone, we should help him get the justice he deserves”, Justice Secretary Aguirre added. ###DOJ-PR
