TACLOBAN CITY, Feb 11 (PIA)- Cases were filed Monday afternoon (Feb. 10) at the Tacloban City Prosecutor’s Office City against six persons to include the five arrested during the raid of two CTG safe houses and another one who is at large but is the confirmed roommate of one of those arrested, Atty. Marlon Bosantog of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, informed the local media at the Panginsayod Ha PIA presscon late afternoon of February 10.
He said that he was sent by the National Task Force- ELCAC to Tacloban to support the RTF-ELCAC8, to ensure that the rule of law is observed and that no human rights violation is committed.
Atty. Bosantog said that all of the six respondents, Frenchie Mae Cumpio, Marielle Alvez Domequil, Alexander Philip Dizon Abinguna, Rogelio “Jun” Berino (at large), Marissa Abayare Cabaljao, and Mira Dalla Destura Legion have been charged with illegal possession of firearms which is bailable with P120,000 while only four (minus Mira and Marissa) were charged with illegal possession of explosives which is non-bailable.
The lawyer said, “The TF-ELCAC does not see the filing of cases against these young adult as a triumph but it is rather heartbreaking to see these young adults being charged with illegal possession of firearms, illegal possession of explosives.”
He said if proven, illegal possession of firearms has a penalty of from 6 years to 20 years imprisonment while illegal possession of explosives has a penalty of reclusion perpetua. (PIA8)
