BACOLOD City – A lawyer of a contending party in the still unresolved Yanson family dispute said they will check with the Bureau of Immigration (BOI) if Yanson siblings Roy, Celina, Emily, and Ricardo Jr. are indeed out of the country.
Atty. Jerry Llena, lawyer of Vallacar Transit Inc. president Leo Rey Yanson, told Daily Guardian that they are going to file a petition with the BOI to query on the status of the four.
Llena issued the statement after warrants of arrest were issued against the Yanson 4 and three others for alleged violation of the New Anti-Carnapping Act of 2016.
The warrants of arrest were served at the houses of the four siblings, he said.
But Llena said the four cannot be located in their respective residences.
Llena said they were not surprised anymore because the four were also missing from their homes when the warrants of arrest for grave threats were served.
This resulted in speculations that the four may have left the country.
The arrest warrant was for carnapping issued by Bacolod Regional Trial Court Branch 53 Judge Sue Lynn Lowie-Jolingan on June 5, 2020.
Earlier the Municipal Trial Court in Cities of Bacolod also ordered the arrest of the Yanson 4 for grave coercion.
Leo Rey and sister Ginnette and their mother Olivia are at odds with the Yanson 4 over control of their family-owned Yanson Group of Bus Companies that operate the Ceres buses all over the country.
