THE parents of a Spanish surfer killed in 2020 in an alleged police buy-bust in Siargao are certain they can obtain justice for him because they believe in the Philippine justice system.
On Jan. 8, 2020 at 1:30 a.m., Diego Bello, 32, was shot dead during a drug buy-bust conducted by some members of the Philippine National Police .They were identified as police captain Wise Vicente Panuelos and staff sergeants Ronel Pazo and Nido Boy Cortes.They claimed that Diego was the top drug dealer in the area and that he resisted arrest, but the National Bureau of Investigation later concluded that he was unarmed.
Alfonso and Pilar, who had planned to attend the ninth hearing, still pushed through with their trip to Manila.They said this was part of their efforts to see to it that not only is justice served but that the memory of their son, who would have been celebrating his birthday next month, is not forgotten.The victim's parents have set up a small business to finance their travels to the Philippines to attend court hearings and to create public awareness about Diego's case.
