Hi Trublue,
Pretty much agree with your assessment that we are all on the outside looking in. We don’t have copies of Duntugan’s sworn statement so we don’t have the specifics on what he confessed to. From what I’ve read, he confessed to killing Julia but not intentionally doing so. Unless authorities have evidence that there was intent on his part, I don’t see how a murder charge would hold in court.

Hi Anonymous,
Yup, I agree with you. I hope they won’t allow themselves to be pressured by the U.S. embassy. Haay, I really have to make an update on this post given the recent developments. Thanks for joining us here and we hope you continue to visit in the future.

they’re having a hard time filing a murder case on duntugan simply because they dont have enough evidence except duntugan’s sworn affidavit which only confesses to a homicide killing.maybe they’re trying some ‘creative ways’ to make duntugan revise his statement and upgrade it to murder.

Was waiting for you to comment on this one first, prior to me putting in my two cents.
To Anonymous 9:41, please, huwag namang padalus-dalus. If you base everything on the current investigations, to me, the most they can charge him is maybe homicide and simple theft only, that’s me. Only coz’ Juan never intended to kill JC and her camera was not taken. Only her umbrella and hat were found in his house and I see no robbery in that regard. While most of us want justice for JC, democracy still thrive in the Philippines, and the outcome of this case cannot be dictated by anyone whose motive is only one way. We are all on the outside looking in. Cheers….

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your comment, it reminded me to do an update on this case with the new developments. Unfortunately hindi yata puwede yong ganung sampahan siya ng mixed na charge. Based on news reports naman parang the Ifugao prosecutor din yata is having a hard time deciding on what the proper charge would be. Thanks again.
