00:00I understand there are efforts to locate him and we are now in a state where the CIDG is conducting a month-long investigation to locate the whereabouts of Jeremy Causapin
00:15because it is very vital for us to locate and put Jeremy Causapin under our custody
00:24because not only was his name mentioned once during the Quad Committee,
00:29but he may also have information that would substantiate the claims of Santi Mendoza and Nelson Mariano
00:37that Jeremy Causapin, a.k.a. Stokes, is the one giving and feeding them information
00:45and in fact, it was Jeremy Causapin who allegedly gave the P300,000 as a payment for the murder of Barayuga.
00:53So definitely, it is the priority of the CIDG to locate Sergeant Causapin.
00:59And again, we would like to take this opportunity to appeal to Causapin and of course to his family
01:06that it would be in his best interest to cooperate with the CIDG.
01:10The wife did not mention anything about her whereabouts?
01:14She did not mention anything.
01:15All she said was that when she went to the police,
01:18they just left the letter of resignation and the gun,
01:25and she did not know where her husband was.
01:31What is her status now after the resignation letter?
01:35Well, as long as his resignation does not come out and he does not report,
01:43he will be considered absent without official leave.
01:52Sorry, ma'am, can you explain?
01:54Will he be arrested? Is there a warrant?
01:58There is no warrant.
02:00Definitely, the direction of the CIDG is for any individual who has a big role in a case,
02:12whether it is connected to Barayuga or other cases,
02:16the PNP wants to talk to him and he can appear with his counsel.
02:21The PNP will not deny it if he will deem it necessary to appear with his counsel in the CIDG.
02:30He has the right to do so.
02:31What is important is that it is for his own security and safety that he can appear.
02:36If it is true that in the revelations that he knows a lot,
02:41only in the case of Barayuga, we will not be discounting the possibility
02:46that those who ordered him would somehow think to at least silence him.
02:53That is what we see.
02:54Our interest is to protect him and at the same time to also give him the chance to hear his side of the story.
03:02So if he appears, will he be invited?
03:06Yes, ma'am, because there is still no warrant of arrest.
03:10He will not be arrested until such time as there is a warrant of arrest.
03:14As of now, we are still waiting to invite him to the CIDG.
03:19I'm not sure if he is included in the issue of subpoenas.
03:24Earlier, Colonel Poclay said that they have already issued subpoenas,
03:28but I'm not sure who are the individuals who were issued subpoenas.
