Bubby Dacer and his driver, Emmanuel Corbito, were abducted in Makati,[3] the business district of Metro Manila. They were later killed,[4][5] and their vehicle dumped. In 2001, a number of arrests were made.

Background

The ultimate reasons for Dacer's murder remain a subject of debate. Fidel Ramos has publicly accused his successor, Joseph Estrada, of giving the original order — Estrada was mired in a corruption scandal at the time, and according to some reports, Estrada believed Dacer was helping Ramos destabilize his rule.
