MANILA, Philippines – Senate President Vicente Sotto III on Friday bared an alleged “tanim kaso” scheme where inmates set to be freed find out they still have “pending cases”.

“Isa pa, lalabas na, palabas na. Talagang irerelease na siya. E ‘yun daw ‘yung tanim kaso,” Sotto said in an interview on dzMM.

“Sasabihin, hindi ka pwede lumabas. Meron ka pang naka-pending [na kaso].’  E maglalagay ka para mawala ‘yung pending mo dahil wala naman talaga e. May ganon. Talo ‘yung tanim bala. Ito, tanim kaso,” Sotto added.
