Task Force Dizon vows justice for the slain broadcaster

May 14, 2024 by Editha Z. Caduaya

DAVAO CITY —The primary suspect who allegedly masterminded the murder of radio broadcaster Ed Dizon has many tentacles and now free after he posted a bail bond, said Undersecretary Paul Gutierrez, executive director of the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS).

Gutierrez said “On March 12, the principal suspect Dante Encarnacion Tabusares was able to post a bail and now he is free.”

“We were not aware that the court granted his bail, so we are now trying to do all legal remedies because one of the witnesses has been secured,” Gutierrez emphasized.

However, the Southern Mindanao officials agreed on Monday, May 13, to forge links to resolve the case as soon as possible.

Last month, Remember that in the month of April, the Department of Justice issued an order to form a Special Investigation team to focus on solving Dizon’s case.

Gutierez is focused on ensuring that the case of Dizon’s murder is resolved.

Last week, Junell Jane Andagkit Poten, aka ‘Junell Gerozaga.’ The alleged gunman assigned to kill Dizon was arrested in Makilala, North Cotabato.

However, despite all this, the suspected mastermind behind the assassination of Dizon, Tabusares, better known as ‘Bong Encarnacion,’ remains scot-free.

Gutierrez alleged that Encarnacion has built his own “Ponzi” scheme, “He spreads his foundation (Humanitarian and Spiritual Missionary Apostulates of Davao & Asia Inc. (HASMADAI), Hasmadai Foundation, for his protection by offering membership with high interest by inviting law enforcers and some members of the broadcast media in the provinces of North and South Cotabato, Davao del Sur, Davao Occidental and other areas of Mindanao and now slowly penetrating Metro Manila.

Encarnacion used to be an official of the defunct KAPA-Community Ministry International was one of the biggest financial investment fraud scandals in Philippine history

Despite being tagged as the mastermind in the Dizon Killing, Encarnacion remains free after posting bail. In various video posts through his social media page now claims as a religious pastor stressing that Hasmadai is a humanitarian and spiritual mission and not a scam.

According to Gutierrez, they have in their hands the list of some members of the broadcast industry, government officials, and law enforcers who are supporting him and to some extent protecting him.

According to Makilala Police Chief Lt. Col. John Miridel Calinga, as far as his area of responsibility is concerned “We will do our best to help in the implementation of the law.”

Dizon was shot dead while returning home on July 10, 2019.

The SIT Dizon during the May 13 meeting at Camp Catitipan in Davao City, agreed to work together with the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Department of Justice, National Bureau of Investigation, and the prosecution to resolve the case.

The group agreed to use all the power of the government to give justice to Dizon.
