Lauro Vizconde has no reason to celebrate the declaration by Justice Sec. Leila de Lima that investigations show that Hubert Webb was in the country and not abroad when his family was massacred in 1991.
Somebody had better tell him to stop categorically saying that he did not make a mistake in pointing to Hubert and his friends as the killers, before he is slapped with one case after another by the Webb Family.
In case you’ve forgotten, Hubert claimed he was in the US when the crime happened. Still, he and his co-accused were convicted but eventually acquitted last year by the Supreme Court.
Now, before you come up with your own conclusion following De Lima’s pronouncement, consider this:
News reports said De Lima admitted that the inter-agency task force did not find witnesses or “credible and confirmed evidence” that would place Webb and his friends at the scene of the crime when it was committed.
Therefore, there’s NO PROOF that Hubert and his friends were really the killers.
De Lima said the magnetic reel tape (MRT) of the Bureau of Immigration (BI), which contains the records of incoming and outgoing passengers, revealed that Hubert or his friends did not leave the country before or during the Vizconde massacre.
De Lima also said “no entry appears in any of the computer printouts of (the) MRT for (the) year 1991. There was (an) entry of (former senator) Freddie Webb (Hubert’s father) leaving the country in March 1991 but no Hubert.”
But Freddie emphasized that “there’s (a) record of my son’s arrival in the US.” He also said forensic tests showed that the passport used by Hubert in leaving for the US before the crime happened was authentic.
So Hubert’s supposed presence in the country when the massacre happened is still not yet 100 percent proven.
Until INDISPUTABLE, PHYSICAL EVIDENCE is produced of Hubert’s supposed presence here at home at the time of the massacre. And even if Hubert was indeed here, it doesn’t automatically follow that he and his gang were the killers.
It would be grossly unfair for Vizconde to continue publicly humiliating Hubert and his friends as the killers even though the group could not even be placed by anyone at the crime scene.
NOTHING has been CONCLUSIVELY proven with finality by De :Lima and the inter-agency task force which re-investigated the massacre.
Vizconde had better WAIT for solid proof first before saying anything else, before the Webbs sue him for libel and other possible raps.
Whether he likes it or not, Hubert is also entitled to fairness in everything from everyone just like him. And not even his continued, although justified, ill feelings can take this away from Hubert. 30
on the first place, if Hubert Webb is really innocent, why then his dad or him claimed that Hubert was in US at the time of the massacre? Here in facebook, i have seen their video with the time and date showing that will appear he was actually in US. I made a comment on that, I said, that caption, date or time can be edited, the only problem was, the person who edited it, is not a pro, because i can edit a video also and put a time and date through a webcam, and their mistake was, they did not made that color appear transparent, people who do not know how to edit or put caption can be fooled, but not me, an original date and time at the time of filming is really different from an edit one. If he was truly innocent, they should not let that video out just to show the people that he was really indeed out of the country..
ReplyDeleteWell, liars go to hell. Who is telling the truth and who is lying? This case validates the weaknesses of the justice system in our nation. Now is the best time to strengthen the justice system in the Philippines. If not then the leaders of our nation would be accountable for the injustice to both families. Justice and righteousness is a basic element for the stability of any nation. Thus, the Philippines is still shaky and not stable as a nation.
ReplyDeleteHow i wish it will happen also to your family,mr. Nemesio antonio jr. to happen to mr. Lauro Vizconde family,so that you will feel the pain that felt by Lauro vizconde.
