‘Excess baggage’Mike Martinez could be dead–NBI

(Editor’s Note: On February 21 we started a series revisiting unsolved cases of missing persons. We featured the case of Edgar Ben­tain, missing since January 1999, after he released a video clip of former President Joseph Estrada gambling with his known ally, Charlie “Atong” Ang, at Manila’s Silahis Hotel. With this series, we hope to reawaken interest in the cases of missing persons, and serve justice to those involved in them.)

THE missing businessman Mike Martinez could be the “excess baggage” of the people who ordered the murder of the actress Nida Blanca, a veteran agent of the National Bureau of Investigation told The Manila Times.
