Dacers to pass petition questioning CA’s decision on Lacson—lawyer

MANILA, Philippines – The daughters of slain publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer have tasked their lawyer to pass a petition to review the Court of Appeal’s dismissal of the cases they filed against Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson.

Carina Dacer and her sisters’ lawyer Demetrio Custodio told Radyo Inquirer in an interview Monday that he was instructed to pass a petition which could question or reverse the CA’s dismissal of criminal case against Lacson.

The Dacer siblings were, according to Custodio, “very disappointed.”

The CA decision was not “adjudication on the case itself,” said Custodio. He said that the CA decision was based only on probable cause. (report from Karen Boncocan, Inquirer.net)
