Malacanang supported the plan of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to conduct a reinvestigation on the Vizconde massacre case.
 
The PNP announced the proposal following the decision of the Supreme Court to free the accused, Hubert Webb and six others, on the controversial case.

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said it is the duty of the state to find the real perpetrators of the crime.

Although the case has gone cold, she said authorities should not be discouraged of finding the suspects of the gruesome killings.

If the case will be reopened, Valte however pointed out that it cannot anymore tag Webb because it would entail double jeopardy.

Voting 7-4-4, the high court cleared Webb and his group for the killings of Estrellita Vizconde and her two daughters in their Paranaque home in 1991.(Jill Beltran/Sunnex)
