Zambales Acting Provincial Prosecutor JT Leonardo Santos upheld his findings in a February 2021 resolution junking the re-filed complaint against public school teacher Mas. NBI agents arrested Mas in May 2020, over a tweet offering a P50-million reward to anyone who can kill the president. The prosecutor also stressed that the introduction of new evidence during a motion for reconsideration is not proper. “To be clear, it is not that a crime has not been committed that the case has been dismissed. It is the sufficiency of evidence to prove that indeed the respondent is the perpetrator of the crime,” he added.
