Victims' families express frustration after court allows nine ex-policemen accused of the 2021 murders to bail out.
SAMAR, Philippines – The families of slain Calbayog Mayor Ronaldo Aquino and relatives of several others who died with him have appealed to the Marcos Jr. administration to ensure the speedy trial of nine ex-policemen linked to the murder two years ago.
Lina Aquino, the mayor’s widow, said her family was pinning their hopes on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos in their quest for justice. “We are the victims here, and not the accused. It’s been two years. Where do we go to ask for help? All we want is fairness from the court,” said Master Sergeant Sario’s widow Ann Sario.
