The Case of Jonas Burgos
« on: April 01, 2013, 07:09:32 PM »
By Perfecto T. Raymundo Jr.

The mother of missing activist Jonas Burgos on Monday asked the Supreme Court to reopen her son's abduction case.

In an urgent special motion filed by Editha Burgos, she asked the SC to direct the Court of Appeals to reopen the case and receive the new evidences they submitted in court.

Included in the new evidences, Mrs. Burgos said, is the picture of her son Jonas inside his detention cell which was taken a few days after he was abducted.

In the said picture, she said Jonas wore a white T-shirt and the clothing/fabric used in blindfolding him was seen already sagging in his neck.

Mrs. Burgos hopes her motion will be included in the agenda of the scheduled en banc session of the SC justices on Tuesday.

In the ruling of the CA on March 18, 2013, it said the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP) were involved in the forced disappearance of Jonas in 2007.

The CA particularly identified Army Maj. Harry Baliaga as responsible for the disappearance of the activist.

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.

Burgos abduction witness tags Baliaga in court, Army officer chokes when grilled about April 28

MANILA, Philippines -- Lt. Harry Baliaga, the Army officer implicated in the abduction of activist-farmer Jonas Burgos five years ago, was tagged in court Thursday morning by a restaurant worker as among the seven people he saw dragging away Burgos, who remains missing.

And, when the Court of Appeals justices grilled him as he sat as the first defense witness, Baliaga’s testimony stalled, and he wept briefly when they asked him to account for his whereabouts on April 28, 2007, the day Burgos was seized at the Hapag Kainan restaurant at the Ever Gotesco Mall in Quezon City, sources told InterAksyon.com of the court’s executive session.

Earlier on Thursday morning, eatery worker Jeffrey Cabintoy had just entered the hearing room of the Courts of Appeals division that is hearing the writ of amparo petition in the Burgos case when he froze, and tugged at his Commission on Human Rights (CHR) escorts and whispered to them, “that is Baliaga,” pointing to a man seated beside the door, in a blue barong, sources said.

The defense had brought Baliaga to court as its first witness, and when the justices were informed that both Baliaga and Cabintoy were in the courtroom, they instructed Cabintoy to stand up and point to Baliaga. “Can you point him out to us?” the justices asked, and Cabintoy nodded, “opo.”

Then Cabintoy pointed to Baliaga, describing him as “the man in long sleeves.”

Later, the justices acceded to the Office of the Solicitor General’s request to hold an executive session, on the ground of “security risk” to Baliaga. Cabintoy was among those led out of the hearing room.

Sources said that when the justices started to grill Baliaga on the witness stand, the Army officer was at first composed, claiming he was on “administrative leave” in April and May 2007.

So they went day to day from April 20, and he gave details of his activities.

The justices were asking him to account for his daily activities and on April 22, he claimed he was in the province for a wedding. But when the justices asked him where he was on April 28, he stopped talking, choked and wept briefly. Someone gave him a bottle of water, sources told InterAksyon.com.

Late last year, Edita Burgos, mother of Jonas and widow of the world press freedom icon Jose G. Burgos Jr., had shared a “Dear Harry” open letter to Baliaga, asking him to “search your conscience” and make a clean breast of what really happened.

‘The picture’. A photo identified by the Burgos family as that of Jonas Burgos, the missing activist abducted by military agents in April 28, 2007. Edita Burgos, Jonas’ mother, positively identified Jonas and the white shirt he was supposedly wearing when he was kidnapped in a mall in Quezon City. (photo from the Free Jonas Burgos Movement)
