MANILA (2nd UPDATE) - Fugitive businessman Cedric Lee and Simeon Raz, two of the 7 accused in the controversial mauling of actor Vhong Navarro, were arrested on Saturday morning in Eastern Samar. Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), with support from the local Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), arrested the two at 11:15 a.m. in a remote area in the town of Oras. "For the past few days, talaga namang tina track down na ng NBI yung kanilang mga location. More or less as of yesterday, we knew the general area kasi parang naging mobile sila. They hopped from area to another--from Quezon to Bicol, to Sorsogon and then finally sa Eastern Samar," she said. De Lima said that the two earlier eluded arrest but were finally cornered on Saturday morning. "Initially, parang nakapuslit pa pero tinugis kaya na-corner sila," she said. She said she instructed the arresting team to immediately bring the two back to Manila. "Dadalin sila sa Manila, sa NBI. In the meantime, doon muna sila sa NBI detention facility and we will await the commitment order from the RTC [Regional Trial Court] Taguig. Ang RTC Taguig ang magdedesisyon kung saan talaga sila dapat ilagay pending the arraignment, pending the trial of the case," she said. The local PNP and ISAFP helped the NBI locate Lee and Raz's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Navarro's legal counsel Atty. Alma Mallonga, in a statement, expressed hope that the other accused will be caught the soonest possible time. Mallonga also said that the case can now move forward with the arrest of Lee and Raz. "Hudyat ito para masimulan na ang paglilitis at mabigyan ng katarungan ang sinapit ni [Vhong] Navarro," she said. Lee was arrested for grave coercion and serious illegal detention, the latter of which is a non-bailable offense, in connection with the January 22 incident that left Navarro with serious injuries. Arrest warrants for the grave coercion charges were issued last week by the Taguig Metropolitan Trial Court against Lee, his sister Bernice, model Deniece Cornejo, Raz, Jed Fernandez, Jose Paolo Calma, and Ferdinand Guerrero. Bernice Lee, Cornejo, and Fernandez have since posted P12,000 bail each for grave coercion. Last Monday, arrest warrants for serious illegal detention were issued by the Taguig Regional Trial Court against the group, with the exception of Bernice and Calma. Lee cancelled his April 12 flight to Dubai after information about it leaked. Guerrero attempted to leave for Hong Kong last April 14, but was prevented by immigration officers. Calma, meanwhile, left the Philippines on April 10, despite a lookout bulletin order mentioning his name. According to Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, confusion over the suspect's name allowed him to leave the country.
