Malaya’s update on Smith custody:
By Evangeline de Vera
FOR “utter disregard and disrespect” of the court, the lawyers of Subic rape victim “Nicole” yesterday asked the Court of Appeals to cite for indirect contempt several Cabinet officials who facilitated the transfer of convicted rapist US Lance Cpl. Daniel Smith to the US Embassy shortly before midnight Friday.
Evalyn Ursua, a private counsel of Nicole, also asked the CA Special 16th Division to immediately issue a warrant of arrest against Smith, saying his transfer to the custody of the US Embassy was “an assisted escape.”
“It is thus clear why respondents should be cited in indirect contempt. Failing in their prayer to ask the CA to issue a temporary restraining order, they unilaterally and in utter disregard and disrespect for the CA, took the law into their own hands and forcibly transferred custody over Smith to the Americans,” said Ursua in her 12-page petition for contempt.
Smith was convicted by Makati Judge Benjamin Pozon on Dec. 4 and ordered detained at the Makati City jail.
The US government, citing provisions of the RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement, demanded custody over Smith.
Pozon denied the petition.
The issue is pending before the Court of Appeals.
Smith was transferred to the US Embassy on the night of Dec. 29 based on an agreement signed on Dec. 22 by Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo and US Ambassador Kristie Kenney.
Named respondents in the contempt petition were Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno, chief presidential legal counsel Sergio Apostol, Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and Makati jail warden Deogracias Tapaday,
Nicole was joined in her petition by Zenaida Quezon-Avanceña, former Senate President Jovito Salonga, former Sen. Wigberto Tanada, Dr. Quintin Doromal, Emilio Capulong Jr., and UP professor Harry Roque Jr.
Ursua said the “misbehavior” of Apostol and Gonzalez, who are both officers of the court, in smuggling Smith out of the city jail is tantamount to an “unlawful interference with proceedings in the present case before the CA and constitute improper behavior tending to directly and indirectly impede, obstruct or degrade the administration of justice.”
“Respondents committed contumacious and contemptuous acts when they transferred custody over the convicted felon Smith to the US authorities during the pendency of the special proceedings,” she said.
Nicole’s legal team said Smith’s transfer practically in the dead of the night was illegal because it was not authorized by the appellate court or by Pozon.
Ursua added that the CA should dismiss outright Smith’s petition for certiorari since he is now considered “a fugitive from justice.”
“If the court were to still take cognizance of the appeal of Daniel Smith, the court would in effect be rewarding Daniel Smith, a convicted criminal, for his escape. Taking cognizance of his appeal would be to countenance the blatant affront to the power of the court that Daniel Smith committed by his escape. It would be against the rule of law,” Ursua said.
Forcibly transferred
In a separate petition, Nicole’s other lawyers said the issue on whether the Philippines or the US government should take custody of Smith was actually brought before the CA by Smith and the respondent government officials.
When they failed to secure a temporary restraining order on the implementation of the December 12 order of Pozon denying Smith’s motion for reconsideration, the officials “forcibly” transferred Smith to the US Embassy, the petitioners said.
Gonzalez, in a nine-page legal opinion sought by Puno, said the reason for the denial of the Makati court to release Smith from the city jail ceased to exist when it was remedied by the submission of an agreement signed by Romulo and Kenney.
“Considering that the CA has noted the agreement, which the Solicitor General has brought to its attention, without pronouncing its objection, it is our considered opinion that it is in keeping with our obligations under the Constitution, international law … to work for the return of custody of (Smith) to the US military custody inside the US embassy until completion of all judicial proceedings,” he said.
The agreement erased whatever legal impediment there was in Smith’s transfer from the Makati City jail to the US Embassy because the DFA, which is the party-in-interest involving the RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement, has already entered into an agreement with the US Embassy expressing no objection to Smith’s transfer to the US custody, he said.
Publicity
The legal opinion, dated Dec. 27, was used as basis by Puno in ordering the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology to relinquish custody of Smith to the US Embassy.
In an interview, Gonzalez said he is not affected by the charges filed by Nicole’s camp, saying Ursua was just trying to gain media mileage.
“Tell her I said ‘thank you.’ I’m not affected. I’m giving her the opportunity to get publicity. That is what she wants, anyway,” he said.
In an interview, Ursua expressed apprehension Smith can be easily spirited out of the country, saying the US Embassy is a territory of the United States over which the country’s judicial system has no jurisdiction.
Puno allayed fears of Smith being spirited out of the country by US authorities, saying an agreement was secured allowing Filipino officials to check on Smith at the embassy.
Smith is staying in a room at the Rowe building inside the heavily guarded embassy along Roxas boulevard in Manila.
US Embassy spokesman Matthew Lussenhop allayed fears Smith would be flown to the US.
“We will be responsible in compliance with the Visiting Forces Agreement. Right now, he is basically in detention,” he said.
He said the detention facility where Smith is being kept was inspected by a representative of the interior department yesterday afternoon.
“There are no plans to allow media to see the detention facility,” he said.
Strong relations
Lussenhop said despite the custody issue, bilateral relations between the Philippines and the United States “remain strong.”
“We continue to have a strong economic partnership. We also have a dynamic development assistance program and a strong cooperation in military projects,” he said.
Lussenhop maintained the transfer was done was in accordance with the VFA.
“What we are doing is according to the bilateral treaty both countries have signed. This has nothing to do with the verdict,” he said.
In a statement released after Smith’s transfer, the US Embassy said it has complied with the VFA throughout the trial.
“Article V, Paragraph 6 of the Visiting Forces Agreement specifies that ‘the custody of any United States personnel over whom the Philippines is to exercise jurisdiction shall immediately reside with the United States military authorities, if they so request, from the commission of the offense until completion of all judicial proceedings.’ Lance Corporal Smith will now return to US military custody in the same facility at the US Embassy which he was previously held for the duration of the trial.”
Full responsibility
Puno said he is taking full responsibility for Smith’s transfer.
He said the decision was made without disregarding Pozon’s order.
“We had to make a judgment here and sa amin, kung hindi katanggap-tanggap ang ginawa namin, pasensiya na lang, pero trabaho lang talaga,” Puno said in a radio interview.
Puno said President Arroyo was present when they discussed on Dec. 28 the transfer of custody.
He said all the President told them was to be careful in handling the issue “because this has a lot to do with our relation and of course our local political situation.”
Puno said before coming up with the decision, he read Pozon’s court decision to get the “general tenor.”
“Nung may mention of this temporary order… Alam ng judge na may Visiting Forces Agreement. Alam niya na may kontrobersiya, so hindi rin siya sigurado na kung saan dapat. So sinasabi diyan ‘temporarily’ hanggang maka-agree yung mga gobyerno,” he said.
“We did not, in our opinion, commit contempt of court,” he added.
Romulo-Kenney agreement
“The Corpus panel would make sure that the US fully conforms to the provisions of the Dec. 22 agreement between Secretary Romulo and Ambassador Kristie Kenney as well as provisions on the VFA on the custody of American servicemen facing charges in Philippine courts,” Puno said.
Puno was referring to DILG Undersecretary Mario Corpus, who will head a five-man inspection panel to regularly check on Smith.
“This would help allay apprehensions that Smith might be whisked off by US authorities out of the premises while he is appealing his conviction,” he added.
The agreement said Smith was to be locked up in a 10 by 12 foot room at the first floor room of Rowe building.
Puno said Washington has assured the Philippines the Corpus panel be given full access to Smith.
Inspection team
The four other members of the inspection committee are Chief Supt. Clarito Jover, officer-in-charge of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology; Senior Supt. Serafin Barretto, BJMP director for the National Capital Region; Director Alejandro Lapinid, PNP director for intelligence; and Senior Supt. Mario San Diego, PNP director for legal service.
“The Corpus panel would make sure that the US fully conforms to the provisions of the Dec. 22 agreement between Secretary Romulo and Ambassador Kenney as well as the provisions of the VFA on the US custody of American servicemen facing charges in Philippine courts,” Puno said. “This would help allay apprehensions that Smith might be whisked off by US authorities out of the premises while he is appealing his conviction.”
Criminal charges
Amado Valdez, former dean of the University of the East College of Law, said Puno and others responsible for the transfer could face criminal charges.
“Violation po yan ng tinatawag na courtesy sa husgado, yung system natin na separation of powers and it is bordering on a criminal offense dahil meron tayong tinatawag na consenting evasion of sentence,” Valdez told ratio station dzMM.
“Mga six years din ang kulong niyan kung mapapatunayan na merong criminal intent sa ginawa nilang yan,” he added.
Valdez said Puno and company should have waited for the decision of Court of Appeals because there are different interpretations of the law concerning Smith’s case.
Valdez also said that under some provisions of the VFA, a US serviceman who has been convicted should be placed under the custody of Philippine jurisdiction like the Makati City jail, New Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa City, or any other camps under Philippine authority.
Pinoy’s interest
President Arroyo said Smith’s transfer is in the best interest of the Philippines and will prevent the further deterioration of relations between the two countries.
Arroyo, in a statement, appealed for public understanding as she said the custody transfer would not in any way affect the handling of the case “nor impede justice and the rule of law.”
She said government is prepared to face whatever legal challenges would be raised against the transfer.
“The government had to take this action in order to forestall the further deterioration in our strategic relationship with the United States, which was being rapidly eroded by our non-compliance with the Visiting Forces Agreement,” she said.
“This difficult decision was made and taken with only the best interest of the Philippines in mind. I therefore ask all Filipinos to stand behind it and to stand behind our alliance with the United States to fight terror and poverty,” she added.
Apostol said the President was informed about the transfer only after Smith was brought to the US Embassy.
Apostol also said he is determined to file disbarment complaint against Ursua for ignorance of the law. – With Raymond Africa, Czeriza Valencia, Ashzel Hachero and Jocelyn Montemayor
I must say that Carlos P Romulo, in spite of his old age in 1976, had bigger, greater f.. balls than Bert Romulo would ever have.
I’m referring to the US Consul that Sec Romulo declared persona non grata, the first time ever in the history of US-RP relationship (and perhaps in the history of US foreign affairs relation) and sent off packing from the Philippines after the US Consul was found having violated Philippine hospitality.
It was a cause celebre that was backed to the hilt by columnists headed by the late Doroy Valencia!
Sergio Apostol to file disbarment complaint against Nicole’s lawyer, Evalyn Ursua for ignorance of the law! I’m not a lawyer pero gumanda ang araw ko sa statement na ito at napakalakas ng aking halakhak. Hahahahahahaha!!! This Apostol is really for laughs even during the Erap impeachment trial. Kaya siguro ito kinuha ni GMA pero may katuwaan naman.
But go ahead, Senor Apostol! Huwag lang si Atty. Ursua. Lahat na abogado who are against the unlawful transfer of Smith. Idemanda ninyo lahat na tao na pupunta sa kalsada upang iprotesta ang muli ninyong pagyurak sa ating batas. At kapag nasa husgado na ang kaso, may chance kayong muling muling magpatawa sa pamamagitan ng: Yur wetniss yur hunur!
Hehehe! “Yur wetniss yur hunur!”
It’s one person’s word against another. Apostol says Ursua is ignorant of the law. Ursua can say the same about Apostol. At the end of the day, the court has the final say; not Arroyo or Malacanang. Arroyo is not the government. Hindi niya puwedeng ma-over power ang decision ng korte. To think that the matter of custody is pending at the Court of Appeals, why the haste of the transfer tapos sa kadiliman pa ng gabi nilipat. To avoid traffic daw sabi ni Puno. Pero inamin na ni Arroyo na siya ang nag-utos para daw manatili ang magandang relation ng US at RP. What she means by that is so that the US would continue to protect her. Malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw at liwanag ng buwan ang dahilan. Kapit sa patalim wika nga. Shame on her!
Can anybody out there please tell me why The Despicable One got Apostol as her Presidential Legal Adviser? Really. I’m serious. His Wetness has a funny way of talking, I know. But… what has this guy got aside from that?
Mr. Cruz, I think it was a reward for his role at the Erap’s impeachment and defense of Arroyo in her two impeachments. Apostol is also closely identified with Imelda Marcos and the Marcoses. He was the Quezon City Fiscal during the Marcos regime. And since Imelda is now in sweet relationship with Arroyo, that makes one plus one equals two. Kahit na itong si Atty. Oliver Lozano na abogado din ni Imelda. Iyan ang sumira sa impeachment. Hindi naman gagalaw iyan na walang utos ni Imelda. Then now, Imelda’s KBL party is reported to be allied with Arroyo’s party. Lozano is among the candidates to be fielded by KBL kasama ang ibang senatoriables ng administration.
It is not only “Nicole” who feels violated by her own government. It is also the Filipinos who feel violated. Not to mention, how painful it must be for the families & friends of journalists, activists, etc. who were brutally killed. Gloria has not lifted a finger to solve all these killings, & w/ a snap of a finger, she moves heaven & earth to “save” L/Cprl. Smith. Where is justice under Gloria ?
And then she asks the Filipinos to understand why she did what she had to do ?
Gone are those days, Anna! CPR was of a different bred, but look at what his defiance had caused the Marcos government!—a CIA operated People’s Power in 1986!!!
The Great Switik must have been warned about it, and thus, the yielding to US threat and demand! Walang balls, puro pek2 lang!!! Someone has suggested that she should invite horny Smith to rape her, too!
Now, there is a bogus government with a bogus president who wants to turn the Philippines into some enchanted kingdom with her as the Reyna Enkang-taran-tada! Someone must have told her that she cannot be a queen if she does not try to amuse the equally horny staff of the US Embassy in Manila by giving in to their demands.
Binastos ang batas ng sarili nilang bansa? Tindi rin ano? Colonial mentality pa rin hanggang ngayon!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Thanks, Mandirigma. But you know what? I think Apostol was taken into the fold to also inject some comical ambiance to the already tense and somber atmosphere in the Palace.
Careful, careful! I hope Ursua knows what to do when she becomes the next victim of the idiots in the Philippine Justice Department that debarred another brilliant lawyer, Alan Paguia of Ateneo U.
I hope Ursua is a member of a very powerful bar association in the Philippines to protect her from such similar abuse. Kung sabagay may mga international lawyers’ league now ready to back her up.
Mabuhay ka Ursua. UP is proud of you, I am sure!
Re: “Binastos ang batas ng sarili nilang bansa?”
Gunggong talaga itong si Gloria… Now that the Americans have gotten a taste of how low they can push her, there’s no stopping them now. One of these days, they will ask Gloria to do a striptease for the sheer pleasure of seeing how ugly she is and if Gloria refuses, they might hang her themselves from the highest lamppost.
Watch out, Gloria!
Sorry, I mean disbarred not debarred!
Gloria BARELY has any SOLID supporters-meaning, supporters who stand by her through thick & thin, & w/o expecting anything in return. What she has are HALLOW supporters-supporters who expect something in return-& one of them is the U.S. But, like anything that is hollow, it crumbles when the earth shakes. Her base will collapse sooner than later. It is not a matter of IF anymore, but a matter of WHEN. After all, the key here is loyalty. That is Gloria’s Achilles heel.
No one is above the law. I hope the rule of law prevails.
Chabeli,
I’m inclined to believe that Gloria still HAS solid supporters if we are to go by what we read in Quezon’s blog.
There are commenters there who seem that they will die for her… now, I can’t be categorical if they would indeed die for her.
If one has all the resources, power and money at his disposal, he has solid supporters. But whether or not they are loyal, that’s the question. Kahit sa larangan ng pagsusulat, iilan lang naman ang tulad ni Ms. Tordesillas na may paninindigan. This rare breed of honest and decent journalists can be recognized by looking at their lifestyles. Kapag biglang yumaman at hindi maipaliwanag kung saan kinuha, dapat tayong magduda.
Gloria Arroyo has loyal licked ass-dogs like General Ermita, Esperon, Tolentino, Reyes, Mendoza, Ebdane and Berroya. I forgot to mention her loyal attack dogs Raul Gonzalez, Norberto Gonzales, Ignacio Bunyeta and Ronnie Puno. She got long list of supporters from jueteng lords, smuggling lords, drug lords and political warlords.
Supporters or paid employees?
Hi, Ystakei!
“Supporters or paid employees?”
YES…Gloria Arroyo’s “ass-dogs and attack dogs” are supporters because they are paid employees who became supporters because they were paid!
Hindi ba nakakaloka ang mga sira-ulong asong ito at wala na silang ginawang paglaruan kundi ang mga kawawang Pinoy?
I don’t know what to say anymore …approve na lang ako ng approve sa mga sinasabi ninyo!
Why don’t these “paid employees” go on strike? That’s one way to bring down any indecent employer!
A good lawyer will not ask a question if they don’t know the answer. Ursua knows something, She is a brilliant and clever lawyer, but, who’s gonna’ listen to her? As far as I’m concern she’s a UP. graduate and she’s tough. The philippine court lost it’s integrity when Davide resumes the post.He always banged his gavel from the order of Malacanang.I’m not sure if Puno can restore it back.
Ursua could not fight this battle alone,she need supports from the masses.Wala ng pakiaalam ang masa natin ngayon dahil karamihan sa kanila ay kumakalam ang sikmura. Hindi lahat ng tao katulad natin dito sa Ellen’s corner.Tayo kumakain tayo ng tatlong beses isang araw,may merienda pang siopao at batchoy,kahit araw-gabi tayong magsulat ay okey lang.Di naman lahat ng tao ay mapalad na tulad natin.Mga iba abala sa paghahanap buhay.Where will Ursua get her support? Iyan ang tinatanong ko.
Si Smith naging fugitive under Philippine justice,in fact his picture is on the top list of most philippines wanted,Who’s the bounty hunter can brought him back? You will never see that white boy again.Once,his enlistment in the active duty is done,he’ll go back to civilain life and the U.S.Military has nothing to do with him.He walk as a freeman.
Nagkabistuhan na. Ibinenta na naman ni Glueria ang Pinas dahil sa Balikatan!

Glueria’s supporters will run away if there’s no more budget.
Elvie:
I bet you thank your lucky star that your are in Germany which does not compromise the welfare and interests of its nationals for any international treaty especially with bullies like staff of the US Embassy in Manila.
It’s the same in Japan, you know. I should know because I have in fact interpreted for a lot many of them erring US servicemen in Japan. Walang patawad dito kung may kasalanan ang kano lalo na kung ang biktima ay hapones.
Last case I handled was a rape of a foreign national by an American. There was a conviction, and the erring soldier got what he deserved.
Bakit iyan hindi magawa ng mga pilipino. And what the heck is this bogus president doing meddling in the activities of the court? Her justice secretary in fact has no business quacking over there in favor of the horny US soldier because he needs to be confirmed yet. Gosh, ilan taon nang nakaupo iyan without a valid portpolio.
No wonder, walang tiwala ang mga kano!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! ALIS DIYAN!
Chi,
Lalakas ang loob ng mga malibog na kano niyan. Protected pa sila ng isang bugaw na, asta puta pa. Next time, they send a contingent of US soldiers on this Balikatan, dapat iyong mga matitinong mga magulang itago na nila ang mga dalaga nila. No dice encouraging them to hook these soldiers. Mare-rape lang sila lalo na ngayong alam ng mga iyan na Philippine laws are useless against a VFA! Saan nakakita ng ganyan katangahan?!!!
I wonder if those who approved the VFA really understood the provision of that treaty. Over in Japan, not many Japanese speak English, but they make sure they understand anything they sign up with foreigners, especially with the American bullies. It is not anti-Americanism, mind you. It is plain and simple common sense!!! And yes, a bit of love of one’s country!!!
Patriotism is not limited to the Americans, you know!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! ALIS DIYAN!
Yuko,
Huh, I won’t be surprised if number of rape cases like this will mount after this Nicole-Smith issue. Pero papasakan na nila ang bibig ng mga rape victims para hindi ma-offend si Uncle Sam.
Anna de Brux,
“I’m inclined to believe that Gloria still HAS solid supporters if we are to go by what we read in Quezon’s blog.”
That’s why I rarely comment on MLQ’s blog. Seems like most of Gloria’s supporters blog there. They’ll get lynched here. He he he.
It’s money that keeps Gloria’s supporters “solid.” These “Solid” supporters, like Gloria, have no integrity whatsoever.
Chi,
Que horror! Baka sabihin naman ng mga kapareho noong mga nanay ng mga pilipinong ibinugaw sa mga Japanese, “Ma’m, di bale na pong pasakan, basta green bucks po, OK na rin po!” Susmaryosep!
Common joke dito nang puede pang mag-smuggle ng mga Japayuki, “Noong, panahon ng guerra, kapag nakakita ng mga sundalong hapon, ang sabi ng mga magulang sa mga anak na babae, Dapa, dapa, tago kayo andiyan na ang mga hapon.” Ngayon, di lang babae, pati lalaking anak, ang sabi ng mga magulang, “Tihaya, tihaya kayo, andiyan na ang mga hapon!”
Kundi makulong si Smith, baka maging joke sa Pilipinas, “Dali, dali, andiyan na ang mga Kano! Ilabas na ang lahat ng mga butas para masaksakan ng green bucks! Baka dalhin pa kayo sa Amerika!”
Kawawang Pilipinas! Kawawang mga pilipino! Ibinubugaw kung saan-saan!

01/02/06 “Information Clearing House” — — Will Congress allow President Bush to waste another year on his Iraq misadventure while serious problems overwhelm the United States?
During 2006 while the US government focused on the deteriorating situation in Iraq, the US dollar declined sharply against many currencies. By December China’s central bank was expressing its concern that the massive US trade deficit could lead to a run on the dollar and to an international financial crisis.

Yuko,
As we speak, China has 600 billion dollars worth of collectible debts from the US so much so that if China decides to collect those debts, the US could find itself in an atrocious economic depression.
I don’t wish that at all on the US because realistically, an economic fallout of that magnitude will have a reverberating negative effect on the entire world, the dollar being the international currency used for trade.
Such occurence might trigger a 3rd world war…
Tama ka Ms. de brux. As a matter of fact, China has already invaded the US economically. But the US has more than enough dollar reserves. Kaya nilang mabuhay ng 100 pang taon. It would take another century for the US to collapse. Maraming assets sila sa ibang bansa. But it’s true, China is giving the US the toughest competition the US never expected.
Hindi ba sabi ko noon pa na ang Tsina ang papalit sa Amerika? Kaya nga ako lumipat sa Tsina. Kung hawak na namin ang mundo, tutulungan ko ang Pilipinas na bayan kong pinagmulan. Kaya kayo diyan maging mabait kayo sa akin.

Huwag mong gayahin ang ugali ko na kapag nagagalit sinisira ang mga gamit. Noong Bagong Taon, nagpaputok ang mga pamangkin ko sa may garahe ko at nasunog ang isa kong BMW. Buti na lang ang Expedition SUV ko nakapara sa ibang garahe. Sa amin kasi, tig-iisang garahe ang mga sasakyan ko. Sampu ang sasakyan ko kaya kayo na ang magsabi kung ilan ang garahe ko.

Mang Rivera, nasa kampo ka ba? Anong kampo? Huwag naman kampo ni Satanas. Biro lang brod ha. Ayaw mo ng 52 inches. Sige mga 40 o 32 inches na lang. Kung gusto mo para magkasya ang 52 inches eh lumipat ka na lang sa malaking apartment. Maghanap ka ng malaking lugar at ako na ang bahala sa rental. Magandang idea ano pards? Para hindi masayang ang 52 inches na HDTV.
