Family Of Detained Filipino Filmmaker Jade Castro Releases Statement & Appeals For Legal Funds


The family of the Filipino filmmaker Jade Castro has released a statement demanding a "transparent and fair investigation."

In the wake of Jade Castro ‘s arrest last week, the family of the Filipino filmmaker has released a statement demanding a “transparent and fair investigation” and launched a fundraiser to cover mounting legal costs. Castro, Mariano, Orcine and Ramos are accused of arson after a modern jeepney (a minibus-like utility vehicle) was set on fire. At around the same time, some 22 kilometers or more than half an hour away, in a barangay of another town in Quezon, four men wearing bonnets were allegedly seen hailing a modernized jeepney and, upon boarding it, flashed their guns and told the driver and the passengers to leave the vehicle.
