On Thursday, Percival “Percy Lapid” Mabasa’s brother voiced disappointment at the passing of a suspected “middleman” in the broadcaster’s de@th and lamented what he claims is the Marcos Jr. administration’s obvious lack of concern about the investigation.

In an interview with TeleRadyo on ABS-CBN, Roy Mabasa said, “Iyong sa akin lang po ay siguro iyong panawagan ko noong umpisa na ang Pangulo mismo ang manguna rito. Eh, palibhasa hindi yata nakikinig ang pangulo eh. Kaya po nagkakaganito ito sapagkat ang pakiramdam ko ay parang wala yatang interes ang Malacañang.”

“Kung kayo ay interesado rito sa kasong ito, babantayan niyo ang bawat hakbang nito. Sino ba ang kumukumpas dito sa kaso? Hindi ko maintindihan eh,” Roy Mabasa continued.

Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin visited the funeral of Mabasa to personally deliver the president’s message to the family in the absence of a verbal statement from Marcos.

Roy had claimed that Bersamin, on behalf of Marcos, had also promised to provide Mabasa’s family safety.

Roy criticized the alleged lack of coordination between the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) during his interview on TeleRadyo on Thursday.
