The Mandaluyong Regional Trial Court on Thursday reset for the third time its hearing on the petition for bail filed by the six policemen-suspects in the Edsa “hulidap” case over a year ago.
Senior Assistant City Prosecutor Lourdes Javelosa told The Standard that the witnesses/complainants were again not present apparently because their subpoena didn’t reach them during the hearing with Judge Carlos Valenzuela at the helm of Branch 213.
Javelosa said that they are more than ready to counter the petition of Chief Insp. Joseph de Vera, Senior Insp. Allan Emlano, Insp. Marco Polo Estrera, PO2s Jerome Datinguinoo, Mark de Paz and Jonathan Rodriguez to file bail.
The prosecution asked the court for time to find their witnesses.
The next court hearing is set on Oct. 29, Nov. 26 and Dec. 3 this year.
The policemen were to said to be involved in the “hulidap” which occurred along Edsa, Mandaluyong southbound in September last year.
A photo, which was taken by a concerned citizen in the alleged hulidap had gone viral on social media.
