"This is a very positive development and a major push back against the evil machinations of the NTF-ELCAC (National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict). We trust that more and more dismissals of search warrants, arrest warrants and trumped up charges are in the offing as more judges are seeing the modus of the NTF-Palpak,"Bayan Muna Party-list Representative Carlos Zarate lauded a Capiz court voided search warrants that were used to arrest some members of Tumandok tribe in December 2020.
Judge Rommel Leonor of Mambusao, Capiz Regional Trial Court Branch 21 quashed search warrants for illegal possession of firearms and explosives against accused Rollen Catamin, Jucie Caro, Eleuteria Caro, Marilou Catamin, and Marivic Aguirre, thus allowing them to be released from detention.
In separate resolutions dated June 15, Leonor said warrants issued by Manila court to search houses of the Tumandok members failed to satisfy the constitutional requirement because they did not provide specific descriptions of residences.
Leonor said all evidence gathered during "illegal search" could not be used against the five individuals.
The simultaneous police operations in Tapaz, Capiz, and Calinog, Iloilo on December 30, 2020 left nine Tumandok leaders dead and led to the arrest of 17 individuals.
According to the Western Visayas police, the nine fatalities were suspected communist rebels.
Peasant organization Pamanggas rejected this claim, saying fatalities were "unarmed" and "noncombatants."
