Should his conviction for the 19-year-old Vizconde massacre case be reversed, visits to the church, doctor and dentist will top the priorities of Hubert Webb, his father said Wednesday.
In a radio interview, former Sen. Freddie Webb said he and his family will first try to get their lives back to normal before even thinking of legal action against Hubert’s accusers.
“Ang... first order of business, dalhin siya sa duktor. For the past 15 years he has not seen a doctor. Ang kanyang ngipin nahuhulog na lahat, 15 taon walang dentista nakikita si Hubert. Yan ang unang gagawin namin," the elder Webb said in an interview on dwIZ radio.
(Our first order of business is to bring him to a doctor. For the past 15 years, he has not seen a doctor. His teeth had been falling out, as he has not seen a dentist for the last 15 years.)
But even before the visits to the doctor and dentist, he said they will go to church and thank God for everything that happened.
“We will have to go to God and thank Him for all that happened. Despite our ordeal, we never lost our faith. We trust God will not abandon us," he said in Filipino.
He maintained his son’s innocence of the crime, where Estrellita Vizconde and daughters Carmela and Jennifer were found brutally killed inside their Parañaque home on June 30, 1991.
The elder Webb insisted his son was in the United States when the crime occurred, citing at least 400 documents their camp submitted to the court.
In April this year, the court granted Webb’s request for a DNA analysis and directed the NBI to produce the samples.
But the NBI said the specimen was submitted to the Parañaque RTC when the case was still on trial.
But court records showed that what the NBI submitted were only photos of the DNA samples.
Last Oct. 19, the Supreme Court said it would no longer require the conduct of a DNA analysis because the NBI could no longer produce the specimen.
Webb’s lawyers then submitted an urgent motion for acquittal, saying his constitutional right was violated when the NBI lost the DNA samples. — LBG/RSJ, GMANews.TV
