Bogo local execs charged with grave coercion
12 January 2016

The Office of the Ombudsman has affirmed the recommendation of the Office of the City Prosecutor of Cebu to formally charge Mayor Celestino Martinez, Jr., Santiago Sevilla and Atty. Jose Carlo Martinez, for Grave Coercion in connection with the standoff in Bogo City, Cebu, between the Martinezes and Salimbangons during the 2010 national elections.

Based on the complaint, it was found that the Martinezes and other supporters verbally abused the group of Benhur Salimbangon and prevented them from leaving Polambato Elementary School. 

In her Review, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales affirmed the findings that “it is clear that when the complainants were prevented from moving their vehicles within the area of Palombato Road in Bogo City and respondents searched the vehicles of the complainants, there was such a display of material force which necessarily produced intimidation, and in effect, controlled the will of the complainants.”

Under Article 286 of the Revised Penal Code, Grave Coercion is committed when a person who, without authority of law, shall, by means of violence, prevent another from doing something not prohibited by law, or compel him to do something against his will, whether it be right or wrong.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
