ABS-CBN says reporter didn't post terrorist's bail

LACK of an antiterrorism law in the country, not intervention by media,
caused the release of terror suspect Tyrone del Rosario Santos, alias Dawud
Muslim Santos, ABS-CBN said in a statement yesterday.
....

But Babao has categorically denied posting bail for Santos. The broadcaster
said it was audio expert Jonathan Tiongco who arranged for the bail.
Environment Secretary Michael Defensor had presented Tiongco to the public
in August in an effort to prove that the "Hello Garci" tapes were fake.

"Tiongco offered to help because he said Santos had been framed. I merely
connected them, that's all," Babao had said.

Babao had covered the hearings of Santos' case at the Quezon City Regional
Trial Court Branch 96, where Santos had applied for bail. His lawyer,
Homobono Adaza, said Santos' bail was lowered from P200,000 to P40,000.
