abs-cbnNews.com



MANILA, Philippines - The camp of Lauro Vizconde believes there is enough time left to appeal his case before the Supreme Court (SC) before the 10-year prescriptive period ends in June 2011.

"I think we have enough time. After all they've submitted the motion for reconsideration. We'll have to wait what will be SC's action on this motion," Vizconde said on ANC's "The Rundown" on Wednesday.

Vizconde issued the statement as he, together with chief of the Public Attorney’s Office, Atty. Persida Rueda-Acosta, filed a motion for reconsideration on the high court's December 14 ruling on the Vizconde massacre case.

160: Vizconde appeals Webb acquittal

Philippine Star



MANILA, Philippines - The patriarch of the murdered Vizconde family asked the Supreme Court (SC) yesterday to set aside the acquittal of Hubert Webb and five others convicted of the 1991 rape of his 18-year-old daughter, and the killing of his wife and 9-year-old daughter.

Represented by Chief Public Attorney Persida Rueda-Acosta and other lawyers from the Public Attorney’s Office, Lauro Vizconde told the SC that in 1986 it granted the second motion for reconsideration of the wife of Rolando Galman, the military-tagged assassin of Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr., for the retrial of the soldiers acquitted of the Aquino-Galman murders.

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) - Lauro Vizconde shrugged off the double jeopardy principle, as he asked the Supreme Court to reverse a decision acquitting Hubert Webb et al in the Vizconde massacre case.

The high court was also asked to thresh out the testimonies of new witnesses through oral arguments on January 25.

Through lawyer Persida Rueda-Acosta, who is also chief of the Public Attorney’s Office, Vizconde filed on Wednesday a motion for reconsideration on the December 14 ruling of the high court.

158: News: Vizconde asks SC to reconsider acquittal of Webb, 6 others

MANILA, Philippines -- Lauro Vizconde on Wednesday asked the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision acquitting Hubert Webb and six others in connection with the grisly death of Estrelita, Carmela and Jennifer in the early 90s.

In its 84-page motion for reconsideration, Vizconde, through Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) Chief Persida Rueda-Acosta, urged the high court to recall and resubmit for re-deliberation the case and reverse its December 14 decision acquitting Webb, Antonio Lejano, Michael Gatchalian, Hospicio Fernandez, Miguel Rodriguez, Peter Estrada, and Gerardo Biong.

Acosta said the high court departed from its long line of decisions where it always pointed out that “in a criminal case, factual findings of the trial court are generally accorded great weight and respect on appeal especially when such findings are supported by substantial evidence on record.”

She said that while the high court acknowledged that star witness Jessica Alfaro can lie “with such abundant details some of which even tallied with the physical evidence at the scene of the crime,” it did not say that Alfaro actually lied and failed to specify the alleged lies she told in court.

157: What the next poll should be?

Since we are about to start our next poll, I have few ideas on what the next poll should be. I am thinking:

1. Ano mas favorite tambalan nyo? (Tambalang Failon at Webb o Tambalang Failon at Sanchez?)

2. Sino mas gusto nyong ka-partner ni Pinky Webb? (Ricky Carandang, Ted Failon, Anthony Taberna, Julius Babao, Henry Omaga-Diaz, Edu Manzano)

3. ~ as suggested ~ Palagay nyo ikakasal siya this year? (OO o Hindi)?

4. Naniniwala ba kayong dapat na tuldukan ang Vizconde Massacre. (OO o Hindi) ?

5. Pony tail or Hair down? (bwahahaha makaisip lang ng tanong eh)

6. Ano mas gusto nyo gawin ni Pinky? (Investigative Report, News Anchoring, Field Reporting, or Documentary)

Help me decide! Choose your answer by commenting here or in our chatbox!

156: Poll result: Favorite show: UKG

This is long overdue. lol. Anyhow, in our last poll, we ask what Pinky Webb show fans like the most, 24 people out of 32 voted for Umagang Kay Ganda.

I also voted for Umagang Kay Ganda because I think UKG has this "home-y" feeling. It wasn't as formal as it was candid. Also, the fact that it has all the package that I look for in a show just adds to the reason why I like it. In UKG you get the latest news from local to abroad, tips, showbiz news, laughs, wise buying, etc., so what not to love? ♥

What are your reasons for voting your favorite (Pinky Webb) show? Share us!
Also, what topic do you want us to discuss in our next poll?

150: Favorite Photo of the Day

 

Why is this my favorite picture of the day: It's dramatic at its best. We heard/read that they broke up because of a lot of reasons. Then we heard the rumors that they are back together. We heard but never had the confirmation then suddenly one day, this picture pops-up in the social network, thus confirming the lovebirds are together again. Plus, look at that quote neatly placed just on top of their heads. ♥

149: And she wishes everyone a merry christmas

 

:)

As everyone knows, Pinky hasn't been around since her brother was acquitted. According to Kapamilya Anchors Online, Beverly stated that she was forced to take a leave. Which was the reason why she has gone MIA for a week or two already.

When she will be back was still a question to everyone's mind. I guess everyone (or is there someone who has a clue? lol) doesn't have a clue. But my gut tells me she'll be back next year. bwahahaha (obviously!).

Now that she's not around I find UKG a bit ... dull (no offense)! Tambalang Failon at Webb ... lonely. Oh well, at least there's something to look forward in 2011. :)

** Oh by the way, thanks for updating the blog. :) I'm lame. I'm lame. I'm lame. As of Late.

Happy Christmas and New Year from Webbs. :)

145: News: SC mouthpiece to Webbs: Just doing my job

Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines—Supreme Court spokesperson Jose Midas Marquez said he was standing his ground.
The family of recently released Hubert Webb was free to criticize him for saying that the high court’s decision acquitting Webb and his fellow accused in the Vizconde massacre did not mean that they were innocent of the crime, said Marquez.

“I stand my ground. If they feel that way, then they’re free to feel that way. I’ve been spokesman for the longest time and I am just doing my job,” Marquez said in a press conference sought by reporters who wanted to get his side after the Webb family’s statement appeared online.

Written by: Radikalchick

you’ve got to give it to the Webbs, yes? I mean you may believe differently about Hubert etal getting that acquittal. you may want to read up regardless, because at the very least those in Bilibid Prisons need an open mind — your open mind. I believe that 15 years is enough, I even think that 10 is enough, even just one year, when there’s a slim slim possibility that anyone’s innocent, a teeny tiny chance that they aren’t guilty of the crime they’ve been accused of. to a certain extent, the shame, the lost years, the lost time, the sadness, the silence, is enough.

131: Is it them? Or not?

The link was posted by Glee. Thanks Glee for sharing the link.

So it seems that if you are popular, "privacy" seems to be non-existent. The title of the video says that it's Edu and Pinky in US. I don't know if it's them because you couldn't see their faces; but I'll all leave it up to you to decide. :)

130: The Christmas Song

Are you guys feeling the Christmas season now? With the things that has been happening in our country, it's not surprising that some people no longer celebrate Christmas. It's saddening that some people just see it as a regular day. And since I really held Christmas Season as one of the most important event in a year, I might as well change our layout to celebrate it. I don't know if it has the Christmas feeling so I added Celine Dion's The Christmas Song to add to the feeling. I think it worked.

Anyway, I want to thank those people who consistently post links in the chatbox. hahaha! :) Special thanks to NoName and Glee for leaving links. Dude, without you posting those links, I"ll fail to update this. Besos! *mwah* *mwah*

Filed Under: Crime and Law and Justice, Massacre

MANILA, Philippines—Convicted murderer Hubert Webb through his counsel on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to cite past and present officials of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in contempt for a “series of acts” that allegedly hid the truth and ultimately implicated him in the Vizconde massacre.

In a 61-page petition filed by lawyer Demetrio Custodio Jr., Webb pointed to the NBI’s use of Jessica Alfaro’s testimony even if she was a “self-perjured witness;” its disregard of documents from the US government showing that he was in the United States at the time of the murders; and the loss of his semen sample that could have been used in a DNA test.
