00:00In 2020, the eyes of the former PCSO board secretary Wesley Barayuga pointed to the murder of the retired general.
00:10They waited for the right time for the safety of the whistleblower and his family.
00:16Jun Veneracion was on the scene.
00:18Two months after the death of the former PCSO board secretary and retired general Wesley Barayuga in July 2020,
00:29his classmates had an idea.
00:32From the Philippine Military Academy, Matikas Class of 1983,
00:36to who are the criminals.
00:38Our classmates who are in government positions,
00:44they formed a core group to work on it silently,
00:50to gather witnesses and evidences,
00:54of course, for the resolution of the case and to seek justice for our classmates.
00:59Earlier in October 2020, they were holding and protecting the main witnesses of the crime,
01:05which are Police Lieutenant Colonel Santi Mendoza and Nelson Mariano.
01:10He's afraid of his life and his family that if he speaks out, he will be back.
01:18He said he will tell everything at an opportune time.
01:25They think it's the right time.
01:27The administration came to replace him,
01:29especially when the House Quad Committee investigated the extrajudicial killings of the Duterte administration.
01:35That's when Barayuga's friends found out that Mendoza was kidnapped.
01:41In the Quadcom hearing, Mendoza pointed to the former PCSO general manager Ruina Garma
01:47and Napolcom Commissioner Edelberto Leonardo,
01:50who ordered him to plan the killing of Barayuga.
01:55It's been four years since his assassination.
01:59Finally, there's a light to put an end to the case.
02:05Was the case resolved?
02:07It's possible that Mendoza's career will be sacrificed to the police,
02:11according to the Internal Affairs Service of the PNP.
02:13It's true what he's saying.
02:15This is a grave offense.
02:17The most severe punishment here is the removal from the service.
02:25IAS will also investigate if there should be an answer to those who investigated the killing of Barayuga in Mandaluyong City.
02:32The first person to investigate was the chief of the Mandaluyong City Police Station,
02:36Colonel Hector Grijaldo, a classmate of Garma, in the PNP Academy.
02:41Nothing happened in the six months of investigation,
02:43that's why it became a cold case and was automatically sent to the PNP-CIDG.
02:48Wherever this evidence will end up, we will know that it's true.
02:53Let the axe fall where it may.
02:55The Quadcom accused the secretary because of this case.
02:59I still marvel at the information that they're getting.
03:02It's amazing.
03:03It's suddenly now warm again because there are a lot of cold cases now.
03:08There will only be light if there is a whistleblower.
