MANILA, Philippines—Justice Secretary Leila De Lima on Thursday ordered the Bureau of Immigration to be on the lookout for the possible departure of five individuals involved in the mauling of comedian and TV host Vhong Navarro.

The Lookout Bulleting Order (LBO) issued Thursday were against businessman Cedric Lee, his sister Bernice, Deniece Cornejo, Ferdinand Guerrero and Zimmer Rance.

The LBO was issued following a former request from the National Bureau of Investigation.

De Lima also ordered Immigration Chief Siegfred Mison to “[p]romptly relay to the Office of the Secretary, this Department (DOJ), to the Office of the Prosecutor General [Claro Arellano] and to the National Bureau of Investigation any pertinent information, especially those tending to indicate that the subject individuals are attempting to leave the country, and in order to obtain updates as to the status of their case and other relevant information that may be the basis for the proper course of action to be taken by the immigration officer.”
