Arroyo frees Claudio Teehankee Jr., Rolito Go likely next for pardon

October 8, 2008 by 32 Comments

After serving 13 years, convicted killer Claudio Teehankee Jr., son of the late former Chief Justice Claudio Teehankee Sr and brother of former Justice undersecretary Manuel Teehankee was ordered released from the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City Friday last week by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said the Department of Justice, Bureau of Corrections and Board of Pardon and Parole “carefully studied” the commutation of the sentence for two to three years.

Teehankee was found guilty in 1995 for murdering Maureen Hultman and her friend Roland John Chapman in Dasmariñas Village in Makati. A third victim, Jussi Leino, was wounded in the attack.

Meanwhile, Gonzalez said on Tuesday that Rolito Go who was found guilty of killing Eldon Maguan in 1991 during a traffic altercation, is likely to be granted presidential pardon soon.

He added that the Maguan family had accepted the civil damages the court ordered Go to pay them.

    simula pa lang yan.
    sa susunod maglalabas na ng batas si arroyo na di pwedeng ikulong at mga mayayaman, maimpluwensya at makapangyarihang mga tao sa pinas kahit ilan pa ang gawan nila ng masama.

  • kulot

    Arroyo frees claudio teehankee Jr and Rolito go for next pardon…kasi nga naman sisikip ang bilangguan kasi papalit sa kanila ang anak ng mga Arroyo. Balita ko iparerenovate daw ang munti kasi nga papasok ang royal family ng mga Arroyo hahaha…kalokah ang justice system ng pinas…

  • dyosangligaw

    ito suggestion lang bakit ba di na lang tayo bumoto ng batang presidente yung tunay na makakaramdam ng hirap ng buhay sa panahon ngayon,…kasi puro matatanda na ang humahawak ng pinas kaya ayan tatanda tayong maahirap…mga politician patuloy na yumayaman dahil sa kaban ng bayan…mahirap patuloy na naghihirap kasi kaban kinakain ng mayayaman….

  • ibong maya

    Sinu-sino pa kayang may kapangyarihan at koneksyon ang makadadama ng kalayaan? Paano kaya yung mga mahihirap na wala naman talagang kasalanan na nakakulong? Mabuti pa silang mayayaman… Ganyan na ba talaga ang kalakaran sa ating gobyerno? Sa batas na ipanapairal? Anong mangyayari sa atin? Buksan sana natin ang ating mga mata at isip. Simulan nating ilagay sa tamang mga kamay ang ating kinabukasan! kung meron pa, eh sinimulan na ang hindi tama….

  • Andres Bonifacio
