“Andito po kami ngayon para mag-file ng aming entry of appearance, at the same time to ask for time to amend the complaint, and then we’ll wait for the resolution of the fiscal ng aming finile na resolution,” Lawyer Ansheline Bacudio, the victim’s legal representative, said. The city police previously admitted there were lapses in the operation and the involved cops have since been relieved from their posts. They have also undergone inquest proceedings over complaints of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide and were detained at the Navotas Police Headquarters.
Rhoda Baltazar, the victim’s mother, also hoped to come face-to-face with the suspects during the preliminary investigation.
