BREAKING NEWS

CRIME

Anchor 2(iberose): Navotas cops get lighter penalties for ‘mistaken’ killing of Jemboy Baltazar. MANILA, Philippines –
Police officers of Navotas were meted with lighter penalties after a Navotas court on Tuesday, February 27, found only
one cop guilty of the lesser crime of homicide for the “mistaken” killing of 17-year-old Jemboy Baltazar whom police
pursued and shot dead in August 2023.

For the details, we have our reporter Emerald Souge with us. Emerald Souge, kindly tell us more about the meeting and
the decisions that the PM and health minister had to make.

Reporter(emerald) : Baltazar was shot and killed by the local cops on August 2, 2023, which the then-local city police
chief later admitted as a lapse in protocol because there was no warning before firing at a person who later turned out to
be a mistaken target. Charges were filed against the six cops within the same month or on August 28, 2023.
Baltazar’s case reached a verdict faster than the case of 17-year-old Kian delos Santos, which remains to be the
Philippine government’s trophy case as it projects to the international community that the local justice system is
working. Delos Santos was 17 years old when he was killed like Baltazar, and his case resulted in a conviction of three
local police after a year and three months on trial.

While the verdict was quick for Baltazar, the cases of killings of two other young men who were connected to him remain
unsolved. Baltazar’s friends Daniel Soria, 20, was killed in September 2023, and John Rey Basie, 18, in October 2023.

Soria was killed by identified assailants in Malabon on September 2. When Soria was killed, Basie was with him but
escaped death at the time after he hid underneath a vehicle. Basie was the target of the chase that killed Baltazar.

The charge filed against the six cops of Navotas involved in the botched operation was murder. But Navotas City Regional
Trial Court (RTC) Branch 286 convicted only one, Police Staff Sergeant Gerry Maliban, not of murder but of homicide.
While murder has the penalty of reclusion perpetua or up to 40 years in prison, Maliban was sentenced to only 4 to 6
years in prison. He was also ordered to pay P50,000 for moral and civil damages.

Four others – Police Staff Sergeant Niko Pines Esquilon, Police Executive Master Sergeant Roberto Balais Jr., Police
Corporal Edmard Jake Blanco, Patrolman Benedict Mangada – were convicted of illegal discharge of firearm and
sentenced to 4 months in prison.
