ARNOLD CLAVIO – The veteran broadcast journalist has reacted to the acquittal of Boying Remulla’s son in drug possession charge.
Most Filipinos were not surprised by the decision of Branch 197 of the Regional Trial Court of Las Pias City to acquit Juanito Jose Remulla III in the drug possession charge or violation of Section 11 of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
Juanito Jose is the son of Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla. He was arrested on October 11, 2022 after accepting a package from the United States containing 900 grams of kush, a high grade marijuana worth P1.3 million.
Secretary Remulla stated at the time that he will not intervene in his son’s case because justice will be served. However, on Friday, January 6, 2023, the court ruled in favor of Juanito Jose as Acting Presiding Judge Ricardo Moldez ll ordered his release due to a lack of evidence.
Arnold Clavio, a veteran broadcast journalist, was among those surprised at the court’s decision. He also expressed his feelings about the acquittal of DOJ Secretary Remulla’s son in the case involving him.
“Ikaw ang umorder. Ikaw ang tumanggap. Ikaw ang nag-uwi sa bahay. Ang info ng PDEA nang delivery ng high grade cocaoine ay galing sa USDEA. Verdict: “ABSUWELTO” dahil sa kakulangan ng ebidensya. Huwaw!!!” he noted in a social media post.
