Subject: Our brother-seaman's killed in broad daylight, cops keep us in the dark/we cry for justice

Dear President Duterte:

Today is the sixty fifth (65th) day of the broad daylight ruthless slaying of our dearest brother "erstwhile" seaman "Bosun" (boatswain) 59-year old PEDRO TALAVERA MANTES which unfortunate incident we still could NOT yet reveal  up to this date to our 94-year old mother, Patrocinio Talavera Mantes.

As we deepestly pray to obtain justice for the untimely and mercilessly "planned" killing in broad daylight at a road inside or within the subdivision of Villa Rosita Subdivision, Barangay Tinago, Ligao, Albay of our brother Pedro, this letter is most respectfully, ardently and urgently requesting His Excellency's intervention to most kindly help solve this murder "puzzle:" To identify who is the brain of our brother's gruesome murder and eventually, he or she is put behind bars.

For further information of His Excellency, on that fateful Thursday, 02 September 2021 when our brother Pedro was gunned down by allegedly "professional hired killer/s," he was actually "puzzlingly" holding inside his chest bag or in his possession reportedly a six million Philippine pesos (PhP6,000,000) manager's check that's issued by NYK-Fil Ship Management Inc., three (3) pieces of land titles and a mobile phone as per inventory made by policemen right there and then which was witnessed by our brother-in-law Eleuterio Pesebre, Sr.

What's so alarming is that said check which is payable in the name (and account) of our brother Pedro yet it was allegedly able to be encashed by his wife, MERLINA RELLORES MANTES days after the brutal "slaying" of our said brother.

Subject check was our brother Pedro's disability (insurance) benefit from NYK-Fil Ship Management Inc. (https://www.nykfil.com.ph

We also would like to raise this concern: "Why is it the death certificate which was issued by P/Supt. James M. Belgica, medico legal officer has discrepancies or errors such that we strongly feel that the NBI needs to thoroughly probe this instance to ultimately determine the veracity of the investigation of the death of our brother Pedro.

Only a homicide was the case/ cause of death reflected in our brother's death certificate.

Our brother Pedro had been employed as a Bosun or boatswain on a ship for more than thirty (30) years in said NYK-Fil Ship Management Inc. For about a couple of years already, he was advised to take a leave of absence because he was diagnosed to have gallstones in a liver.
