The issues remains, whether we like it or not.
“The laglag-bala or tanim-bala (bullet-planting) controversy resurfaced last week when an elderly couple were barred from boarding a US-bound flight after the Office for Transport Security (OTS) reported finding a live .38-caliber bullet in one of their bags at the departure area of Terminal 1,” reports Mark Merueñas on GMA News Online.

On Tue, Apr 26, acting Justice Secretary Emmanuel Caparas talked about the resurgence of the laglag-bala controversy.
He said, “We know that there are elections coming up and among the activities in the elections, there are some activities there that will take place that tend to veer away from the election itself, that tend to take advantage, or, you know, unduly use the day of election as an event to do things that are, you know, some are for mischief others are for unlawful purposes.”
Caparas then appealed to the public to no longer revive the controversy surrounding the laglag-bala incident.
“Itong tanim-bala na ito, issue na patay na iyan eh… Huwag na po sana nating palakihin ito (This bullet-planting, it’s an issue that’s already dead. Let’s not blow it up),” he added.
