Ending this week with an ACQUITTAL 🤍

He came to us with nothing but the truth. No job. No money. Every hearing meant borrowing fare from relatives and friends just to make the long trip to court (yes - he is not from Bacoor). In fact, there was even one occasion when this humble representation personally gave him fare just so he could get back home. That was how difficult his situation was.

Yet despite the hardship, he refused to give up—not because he sought compensation, but because he wanted his name back.

Today, the Court declared what he had always known: NOT GUILTY.

There is no greater reward than seeing an innocent man walk away with his dignity restored after being maliciously accused.

This is why the Public Attorney’s Office exists—to stand beside those who have no one else to stand for them. Sa PAO, may kakampi ang mahihirap.

Justice is worth fighting for. And today, justice prevailed. ⚖️💙

Ending this week with an acquittal! 🤍

The private complainant against my client is one of the largest establishments in our country. Despite my client being a clear underdog in terms of financial standing, PAO’s free legal service managed to secure a win for the defense.

Ramdam ko yung lalim ng buntong hininga niya nung binasahan siya ng acquittal in open court 😅

Justice is served for PAO’s indigent client! ⚖️

Sa kabila ng ipinatupad na WFH/half-day ngayong Holy Wednesday, narito pa rin ang inyong lingkod. Nakipagpulong tayo sa isang kliyente ng Public Attorney’s Office na bumiyahe pa mula Maynila bilang paghahanda sa kanyang nalalapit na arraignment ngayong Abril - sapagkat ang serbisyo publiko ay tuloy-tuloy 💜⚖️

Habang may sunog kanina sa gilid ng aming opisina at ipina-evacuate na ang buong Bacoor Hall of Justice Building ay isinama ko sa pag-bitbit pababa mula 4th floor ang mga case files ng aking mga kliyenteng may mga pending na kaso kasama ng lahat ng aking mga personal na kagamitan sa opisina.

Doon ko na-realize kung gaano ka-lalim na rin pala ang naging bahagi ng trabaho at responsibilidad ko bilang abogado ng Public Attorney’s Office sa pang-araw-araw kong iniisip. Even in that moment of panic and emergency, naisip ko pa rin ang mga kliyente ko 😅

Best part of public service? Moments like this.

Four indigent clients entered the courtroom carrying the burden of a criminal charge for several months.

They finally walked out with one verdict: NOT GUILTY.

Honored to serve through the Public Attorney’s Office and help ensure that justice reaches everyone. ⚖️

Today I conducted a jail visitation at the Bacoor Custodial Facility in my capacity as a PAO lawyer. I was able to speak with 33 Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs).

I listened to their stories—some filled with regret, some with hope, and many with uncertainty about what lies ahead. I asked them how they were, offered legal advice about their cases, and reminded them that while the law will take its course, life does not end within prison walls.

I told them that if someday they find their way back to the outside world, I hope they choose to live differently—to leave behind the mistakes of the past and become better persons, not only for themselves but also for their families who continue to wait and hope for their return.

Moments like these remind me that the practice of law is not only about courtrooms and pleadings. Sometimes, it is simply about listening, reminding people of their dignity, and believing that change is still possible. ⚖️

Feb 14 hits different today ❤️

At lunchtime, a random number called. I answered. It was a 78-year-old woman I once helped back when I was still at the Mayor’s Office of Bacoor City. She immediately apologized for calling on a Saturday and during lunch, and thanked me for answering.

Her 51-year-old son had been arrested and jailed in Manila. She just needed legal advice. I listened, guided her as best as I could, and she was deeply grateful.

Today, on Hearts’ Day, the Lord reminded me: a parent’s love—especially a mother’s—knows no age, no distance, no exhaustion. At 78, from Bacoor to Manila, she would still do everything for her child. That is love. 💗

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
