"I am both a Father and the Secretary of Justice, roles that I take very Seriously"

On Thursday afternoon, Oct. 13, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla stated that he "would not intervene in nor affect my son's condition, and I have not done so in any manner."

Remulla's statement, written in his own handwriting and submitted from Geneva, Switzerland, was issued in response to the arrest of his son, Juanito Jose Diaz Remulla III, in Las Pinas City during an anti-illegal drugs operation.

Remulla heads the Philippines delegation to the 51st Regular Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on the Philippines in Geneva, Switzerland.

He is anticipated to return on Friday, October 14.

“I am both a father and the Secretary of Justice, roles that I take very seriously. We all know about unconditional love, but at 38 years old, he (his son) will have to face his predicament as a fully emancipated child.

“I have to abide by the oath of office I took when I assumed this position.

“To make everything clear:

“I will not intervene in nor influence my son’s predicament, and I have not done so in any way.

“A person should always face the consequences of their actions and I will let justice take its own course.

“I thank the PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) for doing their job without fear or favor. I have no conflict with them. This is a very difficult time for me and my family. But this is nothing compared to what so many Filipinos are going through.

“I will respect the justice system and I wish my son a path to redemption.”
