REGIONAL Trial Court-Branch 33 Presiding Judge Lope Calio ordered to continue the hearing for the Omnibus motion filed by the 2005 Valentine's Day bombing suspect, Abdul Manap Mentang, on December 11.
In an order dated December 4, Calio granted the request of the prosecution to be given more time to collate their evidences, including the issuance of subpoena to three persons to appear before the court for the continuation of the hearing for the Urgent Omnibus Motion filed by Abdullah P. Hamsa, who is said to be the accused, Abdul Manap Mentang.
During last Friday's hearing, Calio ordered to grant a P100,000 bail to the accused. The bail was part of alternative prayers sought in Mentang's Urgent Omnibus Motion filed by his counsel last November 17.
"After assessing and evaluating the records of the case vis a vis the evidence presented by the movant, and considering that the prosecution has still not presented any evidence in opposition to the Urgent Omnibus Motion, the Court hereby grants the alternative prayer of the movant to post bail for his provisional liberty," the order stated.
The defense had previously presented evidences and witnesses before the court to prove that the person arrested and identified as Mentang is another person and not Mentang.
It was previously reported that the motion was filed to quash the warrant of arrest, virtually converted into John Doe warrant as "invalid" and "in violation of the [suspect's] right to due process," to declare the suspect's arrest and imprisonment as "unconstitutional, wrongful, unreasonable, mistaken, and false," and to order his immediate release or at least grant bail for his provisional liberty.
The accused was linked to the explosion at Davao City Overland Transport Terminal on February 14, 2005, which killed a 12-year-old boy and injured eight people.
