The Court of Appeals has issued a writ of amparo in
favor of a decorated former soldier who is being implicated in the
failed November 29 standoff at Makati City that was staged against
the government.
In a resolution, the appellate
court ordered a hearing on February 26 from the petition filed by
Menchita Lusterio and Emelyn Lusterio, the mother and wife,
respectively, of Monchito Lusterio.
Named respondents were Executive
Secretary Eduardo Ermita, National Police Chief Avelino Razon Jr.,
Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno, Armed Forces Chief Hermogenes
Esperon Jr., and Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.
They were tasked to return the
writ within a period of five days.
The Lusterios asked the appellate
court to order the police and military to stop the manhunt for
Monchito and remove his picture and name from a poster which shows
the persons wanted for taking part in the standoff led by Sen.
Antonio Trillanes 4th and Brigadier Gen. Danilo Lim.
