High-profile inmate Jaybee Sebastian may have been given immunity in relation to his testimonies before the House inquiry on drug trade in the New Bilibid Prison, but the Department of Justice (DOJ) is still undecided in placing him under its Witness Protection Program (WPP).
Justice Secretary Vitalian Aguirre II explained that Sebastian did not fully disclose everything he knows in the affidavit that he will present before the House Committee on Justice.
"I believe that there are so many things more... If he can convince the DOJ then we might consider putting him under WPP. Pero today, sa paningin namin, kulang pa po," Aguirre said.
The Committee, chaired by Congressman Reynaldo Umali, has granted Sebastian's request for immunity. According to Umali, his 12-page affidavit is materiel to the investigation.
Bilibid inmates Peter Co and Vicente Sy, and former Bureau of Corrections OIC Rafael Ragos will also testify in the fourth round of the House hearing and were also granted immunity.
