THE Court of Appeals has denied the plea of eight of the 10 Philippine Navy personnel to nullify the arrest warrants issued against them by the Regional Trial Court of Manila City, in connection with the 1995 murder of Ensign Philip Pestaño.
In a two-page resolution, CA’s Former Special Sixth Division through Associate Justice Nina Antonio-Valenzuela ruled that the petitioners failed to present new arguments that would warrant the reversal of its decision issued on April 29, 2016.
The appellate court rejected the argument of the petitioners that Manila RTC Judge Josefina Siscar committed grave abuse of discretion in directing the issuance of a warrant of arrest against them last July 23, 2013.
