Furthermore, the lawyers raised concerns regarding the legitimacy of the warrantless arrest and the acquisition of evidence. “In fact, the blatant show of power and influence were witnessed by the respondents themselves when the complainant summoned the police authorities to place the respondents under investigation even in the absence of any lawyer and thereafter to implement a warrantless arrest and detain respondents,” the petition also read.
"Although we do not question the competence of other members of the OCP Batangas to resolve this case, our legal counsels who are also providing legal assistance to our employees would not want to risk the liberty of our employees," Eternal Gardens said in a seperate statement.The two employees were released after Eternal Gardens posted bail three days after the arrest.
