Gen. Ronnie Montejo said they are now coordinating with Echanis&#8217; wife Erlinda, for the turnover of his body.<\/p>\n<p>Among the angles being looked into is that Echanis&#8217; companion, Louie Tagapia, is the real target of the suspects as the investigation revealed that Tagapia has more stab wounds than Echanis.<\/p>\n<p>Montejo said it is also possible that the incident was perpetrated by robbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Hindi kami titigil sa pagtugis sa mga salarin.
