The hearing yesterday was postponed due to the pending petition to transfer trial and transfer detention.
The accused was also charged for violation of Sec. 3 (terrorism) of Republic Act 9374 (Human Security Act).
The petition to transfer trial was filed by the Office of the City Prosecutor before the Department of Justice due to security reasons. Meanwhile, the petition to transfer the detention of the five alleged Maute members, including Macabalang, was due to the fact that Davao City risks attack while they are here.

Based on records, Macabalang, along with Wendel Apostol Facturan and Musali Mustapha, was arrested in a checkpoint in Cotabato City last Oct. 7, 2016.
The records also showed that there were 14 individuals indicted in connection to the deadly blast. However, the cases of the two suspects were dropped after they were placed under the Witness Protection Program.
