Petition for Habeas Corpus of ALABANG BOYS junked by CA

I just read on the news that the Court of Appeals rejected the petition for Habeas Corpus for the Alabang boys who are currently detained in the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.

In the 11 page decision by Associate Justice Monina Senarosa of the Special 13th Division Court of Appeals they reiterated that there is valid and just cause for the detainment of Richard Brodett, Jorge Joseph and Joseph Tecson because they have not finished court proceedings for the said men. The court was not convinced for the need to release the Alabang boys because it has been earlier given the same verdict under the Department of Justice because of the complaint of PDEA last month.

The said case is under automatic review of the Secretary of Justice and does not have binding, effective decisions without their approval. This procedure will be not done anymore if they force the court to decide on the case so most probably they would need to stay there for the duration of the case. Some things can't be bought by rich people huh?!

Independent body to handle Alabang Boys

Rich kids in hot water for this drug case!

Congress would want an independent committee to handle the infamous Alabang Boys drug scandal. This is to prevent the terms brought about by politicians also dipping their hands into this huge fiasco. Several reports of bribery was included in the statement by Major Ferdinand Marcelino, team leader of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) but he refused to identify them publicly.

There should be a credible committee that would handle this case so the truth would come out and have the said prosecutor from the Department of Justice that sold the Alabang Boy's case put to justice too.
It's sad to say but it was also a compatriot from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) that offered him this bribe so he can't tell anyone as honor dictates.
No names as of now still have surfaced but there are several people that President Arroyo already put on leave like Undersecretary Ricardo Blancaflor and Chief State Prosecutor Jovencito Zuno.

Biazon on the other hand said that there should be inventory of (drug) cases and there should be an inventory of evidence. It has also been an issue that seized drugs finds its way back to the circulation of drug tradewhich is preposterous.

Disbarment VS Alabang Boys Attorney Mulled

VACC is now taking action on this Alabang Boys Lawyer!

A disbarment case against 2 of the infamous Alabang Boys was filed in the Supreme Court. Attorney Felisberto Verano is now under heavy scrutiny. Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption's chair Dante Jimenez filed a letter complaint for disbarment versus the said lawyer.

His actions were said out of context of the code of conduct of Lawyers for fixing release papers of the said publicly villained Alabang Boys. They said these ways of Verano should be stopped immediately because the Law is nothing to be played with. He also was complained about using a government agency's letter head even if he is in private practive. Everything is attached to the complaint, now it's up to the courts to spank this bad boy if he is proven guilty.
