Mark Louis Santiago Mabasa, son of assassinated Filipino radio commentator Percy Lapid, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Adelanto Processing Center in California. Mabasa arrived in the United States in February 2023, months after gunmen killed his father near his home in Parañaque, Philippines, in October 2022 — a murder whose alleged mastermind, former Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag, remains at large. His uncle, journalist Roy Mabasa, confirmed the detention and noted that Mark had filed for asylum well before the Trump administration introduced new policies targeting asylum seekers, arguing that the earlier timeline should be taken into account in his case.
