社交媒体名人Franco Mabanta及其四名同伙在因涉嫌针对前众议院议长Martin Romualdez的敲诈勒索阴谋被捕后，已获准保释。
帕西格市第167分庭区域初审法院于周六下令将其释放，此前每人支付了12万比索的保释金。Mabanta等人于5月5日在国家调查局的一次诱捕行动中被捕。
其余四名被告分别是PGMN财务官Ericson James Pacaba、公司创办人John Alexander Vasquez Gomez，以及员工Jardine Christian Requio Serrano和Franco Jose Gallardo。他们此前一直被关押在蒙廷卢帕市的新比利比德监狱。
Mabanta在拘留期间否认了敲诈勒索的企图，并称该行动是一个圈套。Romualdez通过发言人表示，该团伙在歪曲事实，并称他们应该将相关材料提交给当局，而不是将其用作谈判筹码。
