Cordillera People’s Alliance researcher Jennifer Awingan-Taggaoa is set to gain temporary freedom after more than a week of detention at the Abra Provincial Jail with to the court’s approval of her bail plea.
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines —
Her warrant did not recommend bail. But the court allowed bail “as a matter of right” since the prosecution still has to prove strong evidence of guilt, said Awingan-Taggaoa’s counsel Jose Molintas, a councilor of Baguio City and Free Legal Assistance Group Coordinator for Cordillera.“We thank the Abra RTC for granting the bail.
Citing the affidavits of soldiers who survived the ambush, Molintas said the witnesses only named two alleged NPA members as perpetrators.
