The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday, March 3, dismissed the obstruction of justice complaint filed against the father of one of the suspects in the death of Adamson University (AdU) chemical engineering student John Matthew Salilig. The father, Gregorio Cruz, was charged by the police before the Department of Justice (DOJ) with obstruction of justice after he allegedly refused to turn over the alleged vehicle used in transporting Salilig’s body to Imus, Cavite where it was unearthed. DOJ Assistant Secretary Jose Dominic F. Clavano IV said the inquest prosecutor has dismissed the complaint against Cruz.  But Clavano did not say who is the son of Cruz among the suspects. Six suspects have been charged before the DOJ with violations of the Anti-Hazing Law in Salilig’s death.  Charged were Tau Gamma Phi fraternity members Michael Lambert Ritalde, 31; Mark Edrosa, 39; and students Romero Earl Anthony, 21, Tung Cheng Teng Jr., 22, Jerome Balot, 22, and Sandro Victorino, 28. Those charged opted for a preliminary investigation which will start on March 10. Clavano said the charge against Cruz “did not reach the level of probable cause with reasonable certainty of conviction.” And, thus, he said that Cruz will be released immediately from police custody. He said another suspect in Salilig’s death has surrendered.  “We already have seven out of 15 suspects in custody,” he said without identifying him. He then urged the members of the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity, school authorities and barangay officials “to cooperate in the hunt for the rest of the suspects who have been identified already.”
