It can be remembered that one of the suspects, JP Dela Serna, retracted his testimony during the preliminary investigation conducted by the Makati City Prosecutors Office on Wednesday.
In the previous testimony, Dela Serna stated that a certain Mark Anthony Rosales showed him some “powder drugs”, which he took from his sock.
However, in the latest affidavit, Dela Serna revealed that he was only forced by the Makati Police to make the statement.
Atty. Portugal explained that the initial statement released from the interrogation done on January 1 did not mention any drugs.
“The next day, pinipilit silang pinapirma. Tapos, yun pala may dinagdag sa statement.
“Yung una, hindi sila nag-point ng any person. Then, on the second day, Jan. 2, pinipilit na sila, kino-coerce na kapag hindi sila magturo ng isang tao in relation to drugs, mabubulok sila sa bilangguan,” she revealed.
Portugal assured that their camp is ready to respond to whatever additional evidence that the PNP will present.
She also disclosed that the PNP asked for an extension for the submission of evidence.
“Actually, yung kahapon, supposedly magsa-submit din sila ng additional evidence. Ang nangyari, nagpa-extend na naman, yung PNP magpo-produce sa Jan. 27,”
