Supreme Court distances judges from Calabarzon killings
Mar 16, 2021 6:14 PM PHT
The Supreme Court, through the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA), distanced trial court judges from the outcome of the Bloody Sunday operations in Calabarzon that were carried out through their search warrants. The issuance of the search warrants by the judges and their service or implementation by the law enforcers are two different acts. The issuance of search warrants is judicial in nature, said Court Administrator Midas Marquez in a report sent to Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta dated March 12, but which was obtained by media only on Tuesday, March 16.
