SC to CHR: Find Burgos abduction missing witness

By Benjamin B. Pulta 10/27/2011

The Supreme Court (SC) has directed the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) to find the missing witness in the disappearance of activist Jonas Burgos.

In a five-page resolution, the SC en banc required the CHR “to undertake all available measures to obtain the affidavit of witness Virgilio Eustaquio.”

Eustaquio had claimed one of the male abductors of Burgos, appearing in the cartographic sketch, was one of the “raiders” who abducted him and four others indentified as Jim Cabauatan, police officer Jose Curameng, Ruben Dionisio and Dennis Ibona or the “Erap 5.”

The tribunal also ordered the CHR “to submit within 30 days…a report, with its recommendations, of its ongoing investigation of Burgos’ abduction and the affidavit of…Estaquio, if any, copy furnished the petitioner, the Court of Appeals (CA), the incumbent chiefs of the AFP, the PNP and the PNP-CIDG, and all the present respondents before the CA.”....
