TV5's 'Journo' Digs Up Back Story on General Angelo Reyes's Suicide


Amid the ongoing Senate hearings on the issues of systemic corruption and pabaon system (sendoff money) in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the nation woke up last Tuesday morning to breaking news that former AFP Chief Angelo Reyes took his own life before his mother's grave at Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City. With his sudden death, General Reyes brought his side of the truth to the grave and left the public wondering how the corruption issues against him would unfold.

This Tuesday on Journo, veteran journalist and News5 Head Luchi Cruz-Valdes talks to fellow journos as they share their views and insights on Angelo Reyes's suicide and how it will affect the ongoing investigation on military corruption.
