A group of lawyers paid tribute to a trial court decision that nullified the search warrant issued by a Manila court for enforcement in Capiz where nine Tumandok tribesmen were killed and five others were arrested on Dec. 20, 2020.
Capiz Regional trial court (RTC) Judge Rommel Leonor quashed the search warrant issued by the Manila RTC. The quashal led to the release of tribe members Eleutera Caro, Jucie Caro, Rollen Catamin, Marilou Catamin, and Marivic Aguirre.
Under the new rules issued by the Supreme Court (SC), trial courts in the country are authorized to issue warrants only within their judicial regions. The rules revoked the authority granted to some courts, particularly those in Manila and Quezon City, to issue warrants enforceable anywhere in the country.
