Accused.

MANIFESTATION AND MOTION

The accused, assisted by the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO),
through the undersigned counsel, unto this Honorable Court most
respectfully states that:

1. In its Resolution dated September 13, 2017, the Honorable

Court favorably acted upon the Motion to Suspend Proceedings filed
by Public Attorney Marte Sabelo, alleging the accused’s unsound
mental condition which renders the said person unfit to stand trial.
Thus, in the same order, the Honorable Court ordered the accused
to be confined at the National Mental Health in Mandaluyong City;

2. The said Order was reiterated by the Honorable Court in its

Order dated July 11, 2018 where it directed the Jail Warden of the
BJMP to render report as to whether the accused was transferred
for confinement at the said mental institution. It likewise ordered
the Chief of the said hospital to render report as to the mental
condition of the above-accused;

3. Unfortunately for the accused, he was never transferred to

the said mental institution despite of the said Orders. Hence on
July 11, 2019, the Honorable Court, in its Order dated on even
date,ordered that the case be ARCHIVED, to be revived only after
the submission of the reports from the BJMP and the Chief of
National Mental Hospital;
 4. To date, the accused is still detained at the BJMP as
evidenced by his Certificate of Detention hereto attached for easy
reference;

5. In view of the same, the accused hereby prays that he be re-

evaluated and re-examined at the Baguio General Hospital and
Medical Center in Baguio, City to determine whether he is fit to
stand the rigors of trial;

6. Should there be a need for his confinement in a mental

institution, the accused begs for the compassion of the Honorable
Court and prays that he be confined at the Baguio General Hospital
and Medical Center in Baguio City to afford his relatives, who are
residents of Sison, Pangasinan, to visit him without difficulty;

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully

prayed of this Honorable Court that the accused be re-evaluated
and re-examined at the Baguio General Hospital and Medical
Center in Baguio, City.

It is likewise prayed of the Honorable Court that the accused

be confined at the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center in
Baguio City for humanitarian consideration should there be a need
for the accused’s confinement in a mental institution.

Other reliefs which are just and equitable in the premises are
also prayed.
