“<br />

There were no<br />

charges filed against<br />

Maria Isabel, but the<br />

NBI held her in their<br />

custody.<br />

”<br />

94<br />

Meanwhile, the cousin of XXX, Maria Isabel, filed charges of illegal<br />

detention against the NBI agents before the prosecutor’s office.<br />

In her complaint affidavit on January 23, she named four NBI<br />

members, Agapito gierran, Dominic Cero, an alias Sir Louie or Sir<br />

Das, one Atty yu and four other unnamed persons as respondents<br />

in breach of the RPC for arbitrary detention. There were no charges<br />

filed against Maria Isabel, but the NBI held her in their custody.<br />

In their defense, however, the nBI agents made a claim that maria<br />

Isabel had voluntarily opted to stay at the nBI’s headquarters,<br />

supposedly to console XXX. The nBI, however, failed to give any<br />

substantial and reasonable explanations why they have failed to<br />

properly inform her and promptly release her. They also did not<br />

explain why they had to take personal details and lift fingerprints<br />

from her if indeed she was not part of the charges they have filed<br />

against XXX.<br />
