Romeo Jalosjos, the convicted rapist of a minor girl pardoned!!!

[shadow]

just heard it this morning sa radio, since he reached the mandatory age of 70... :mad: and will be release before christmas...:shocked:

[XTO]

I suppose if they sentence you for life, instead of declaring the total years to serve, better to ask this: “kailan ka magse-seventy?” para i-minus namin ang sintensya mo dahil pag dating mo ng 70 eh may mandatory pardon ka. amf hustisya to oh ala wenta talaga isa pa good news to sa mga kriminal na malapit nang mag 70 anyos awowowowo

[ghosthunter]

that guy should be in jail until the day he dies.

[CVT]

Hindi naman ganun kabigat kaso niya e. It wasn't "rape" per se, it ws statutory.

AFAIK, it was consensual and involved financing.

Mga batang babae, magtago na kayo.:***:

[jedi]

kay jalosjos... ok lang kahit 70 na sya... mapera pa din sya at maimpluwensya... yung ibang bilanggo na napardon... pagtapos nilang pabayaran mga kasalanan nila... hindi nila alam kung may pamilyang sasalubong sa kanila... yung iba eh mas ginugusto pang wag nang umalis na kulungan.

Gonzalez: Jalosjos Won't be Freed Yet

Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez clarified that convicted child rapist Romeo Jalosjos was not released from the New Bilibid Prisons on Sunday.

In a dzMM interview, Gonzalez said that there was no directive from his office ordering the release of the former Zamboanga del Norte congressman.

Around 5 p.m. Sunday, Gonzalez said he suspended the Bureau of Corrections' release order for Jalosjos, saying that officials are still studying the recommendation of former director Vicente Vinarao to release him.

Gonzalez also said that reports of Jalosjos's release were based on the order supposedly scheduled for release Sunday. He said information pertaining to the order was leaked Saturday night. He said the directive was not released.

He also said that President Arroyo only granted Jalosjos a commutation of his sentence, not a pardon.

A report on The Philippine Star on Sunday said Jalosjos, a convicted child rapist, "will be home from Christmas, as he walks out of the New Bilibid Prisons Sunday after serving just over 13 years of his double-life sentence."

Director Ricardo Dapat of the Bureau of Corrections was quoted as saying that he had signed the release papers of Jalosjos, even as Malacañang said the convict may not be freed without the necessary documentation signed by Mrs. Arroyo.

"This type of release applies to Mr. Jalosjos. Upon review of the records section of our office of Jalosjos’ case, it was found out that he can now be released from prison,” Dapat said.

Dapat claimed there is no need to coordinate with the Board of Pardons and Parole, and even with Malacañang, since the former lawmaker has already substantially served his sentence.

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said there was no document from the Board of Pardons and Parole recommending the early release of Jalosjos.

"There are no papers, no documents," Ermita pointed out.

He said Malacañang does not deal with individual cases when it comes to commutations and pardons because these are all consolidated first before they are presented to the President for approval.

Ermita also pointed out Jalosjos, whose two life sentences were commuted by the President last June, can only be eligible for pardon when he reaches the age of 70. Jalosjos is 67 years old.

The Board of Pardons and Parole had recommended the commutation of Jalosjos’s life sentence to 16 from 22 years.

Malacañang, however, approved commuting the sentence to 16 years.

Malacañang made the announcement to commute the sentence of Jalosjos in June.

Deal? Or no deal?

i hope whether he stays in jail or not, nagbago na sya. which gets me to think, pano kaya magbabago yun eh ang sarap ng buhay sa loob, di aircon sila ni sanchez don diba tapos sarap ng mga pagkain nila, may tv at ref.

hindi nahirapan eh. may nakakapasok pa nga daw na mga "libangan" sa kanila.

talk about the favor that can be obtain by money.

[cutedoc]

ewan ko bakit ganito ang pinas, hindi kaya parusahan ng judge kasi bayad na hanggang kabilang buhay kaya walng hatol, hahayaan nalang umabot sa edad na makakalaya criminal at palalabasin na alang sala...

kalokohan talaga minsan, sila na lalabas na kawawa kasi antagal kinulong tapos palalayain din, mas kawawa yung totoong biktima!

You're joking, of course. Otherwise, the logic will allow a pedophile who gives a candy to a four year old toddler and then "do" it and if caught should be treated with "kids gloves" only.

The Filipino culture might be damaged but I don't think it is that sick.

[buriroy]

When our morally bankrupt government pardoned a
plunderer who, in effect, screwed the entire nation;
whats to stop them from pardoning a rapist who
screwed just one woman?

GMA would pardon the Devil himself and it wouldnt
bother her one bit!

[chua_riwap]

As per 24 Oras, kanina.......

Pati si Rolito Go, humihingi na rin ng Executive Clemency. Siya yung bumaril kay Eldon Maguan, a La Salle student, during a traffic altercation. Sentence pala niya, 40 yrs. Pero ngayon, nahingi na siya ng clemency.

Nainggit siguro kay Erap at kay Jalosjos.

No problem.......approved kaagad kay GMA yan.

[badkuk]

challenge ko lang, to whoever thought of pardoning jaloslos...have their kids/grandkids spend a couple of nights at his house.

[Memphis Raines]

Lakas pa nga ng loob nyang magsabi na "I'll sue the gov't if they don't let me go.."

This is why dami ngayong mga criminal elements na wala ng takot sa batas o pulis.

Time na ata para magsi-labasan na ang mga vigilante groups to deliver their...Dark Justice.
