MANILA, Philippines — The lawyer of fugitive lawmaker Zaldy Co and four of he 18 marines linked to the delivery of cash in suitcases to ranking government officials posted bail Friday after their arrest for an unjust vexation case.
Levito Baligod and the four others each posted a P10,000 bail as set by a Zambales Regional Trial Court, which issued the arrest order.
Early Friday morning, Baligod, together with 14 of the 18 so-called "maleta boys," were arrested in front of the San Juan City Justice Hall where they were supposed to attend a hearing for another case.
Ten others, however, remained in police custody.
