Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 13) The lawyer of five of the 11 respondents in the Christine Dacera case accused the Makati police of pressuring two of her clients to say illegal drugs were used during the New Year s Eve party that they attended at a Makati City hotel. The powder issue insinuating drug use actually came from the mouths of PNP Makati police, it was added by them, after subjecting the two detained to torture and misrepresentations, that they will be released from detention and no charges will be filed, if ever they will come up with fabricated, tampered afterthought, object and scientific medico-legal evidence, said Atty. Abi Portugal, who represents Rommel Galido, Valentine Rosales, JP dela Serna, Gregorio de Guzman, and Clark Rapinan.
