JEANNE MESERVE, CNN ANCHOR: To the Philippines now and developments in the "Love Bug" computer virus investigation. Citing a lack of evidence, authorities have released a suspect they'd questioned in connection with last week's devastating Internet attack. CNN's Maria Ressa joins us by phone from Manila with the very latest -- Maria.</s>MARIA RESSA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Jeanne, as you said, Filipino Justice officials ordered agents of the NBI, the Philippines version of the FBI, the National Bureau of Investigation here, to free 27-year-old Reomel Ramones. He was questioned for 18 hours. They did say they had insufficient evidence to arrest him. But although no formal charges were filed, the NBI says it wants to frame charges. The prosecutor has given both parties 10 days -- 10 days for the NBI to gather more evidence and for Ramones to counter the charges if they're filed. Meantime, his girlfriend, Irene de Guzman was expected to appear at the NBI headquarters for questioning. She has not yet done so. Officials say if she does not appear, they will issue a subpoena. As far as the next step in the investigation, Filipino authorities are working very closely with agents of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI has given officials here 10 coded names. These can be one person or 10 people, just codes, that appeared on the program of the virus. NBI officials say they're now looking into what seems to be a connection between these coded names and a computer college in Manila. Officials say they expect to question more people in the days ahead. Maria Ressa, CNN, Manila.
