Murder of Eldon Maguan

[4] Shortly after the incident, the San Juan police arrived and found an empty shell and a live 9 mm caliber ammunition round on the scene.

[4] While determining the initial location of the shooter, the police was able to obtain Go's vehicle registration plate from the security guard of Alex III, a restaurant at the intersection where the incident happened.

The security guard at Cravings was also able to identify Go as the perpetrator, and Land Transportation Office records showed that the Go's car was registered to his wife, Elsa Ang Go.

[4] Go was informed in the presence of his lawyers by First Assistant provincial prosecutor Dennis Villa Ignacio, that he could sign a waiver to avail for the right to preliminary investigation based on the provisions of Article 125 of the Revised Penal Code.

[1] In October 2008, Department of Justice secretary Raul M. Gonzalez said Go was eligible for a presidential pardon as he had served half of his prison sentence.

[2] After fulfilling a required number of years in jail, Go was moved to the minimum security compound in Bilibid in 2009 and was granted live-out status by the Bureau of Corrections under BuCor director Oscar Calderon.

Go attempted to apply for parole on multiple occasions, which was rejected by the Supreme Court and opposed by Maguan's family, who pleaded Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo not to extend any pardon to Go.

A hold departure order was also issued by Bureau of Immigration commissioner Ricardo David, instructing all airports and seaports to be on the lookout for Go.

[6] In a press conference, NBP chief superintendent Generoso Cerbo Jr. stated that Go told the police that he and Yu were released by their alleged kidnappers based in Tanauan, Batangas.

[8] At the time of ruling, Go was confined at the Metropolitan Medical Center in Santa Cruz, Manila for stage 4 colorectal cancer.

[3] This was also rebuked by Justice secretary Menardo Guevarra, who stated that Go was not among the convicts prematurely released by the good conduct time allowance controversy.
