The cebuano's learn this things na, not only sa mga poor people but also the upper class... they must respect the people too...

The're a lot of women outthere nga happy kaayo nga nabalhog na sa presohan naning klase sa mga tawo. They're also a victims with this people. Now, they learn how to smile and walk alone in the streets. Dapat gyud unta bitayon nana sila para matagbaw ug ginhawa tong ila mga bictima.

Naa bay tikasan nga motug-an.... Naa bay kawatan nga motug-an.... Halos tanan bakakon na karon para lang ma buhi aning kalibutana.... either ang ni reklamo or ang defender....

I know he is innocent.

I know the publisher of this site http://www.framedinthephilippines.com/html/index.htm

His daughter was with Paco in Manila, along with some of our friends, when the alleged crimes were commited.

These people have no motives to defend Paco if they really were not with him. None whatsover.

I know these friends personally and would vouch for their sanity and moral worth any day.

To all you people who say "to hell with him" and the like, without even knowing the various discrepancies surrounding this case, I wish you the same fate that befell Paco, so that you may know how it feels to be blamed for something that you didn't do...

I think so.. his friends believes him.. I hear some stories about it.. his friends says its the truth.

More than 35 witnesses composed of Paco’s teachers and classmates at the Center for Culinary Arts (CCA) in Quezon City testified under oath that he was in Metro Manila, another city, when the crime is said to have taken place in Cebu. However, the trial court considered these testimonies as irrelevant. During his trial in the Cebu Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 7, defense lawyers sought to present evidence on his presence on the evening of the crime, that Paco, at that time 19 years old, was at a party at the R&R Restaurant along Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City, and stayed there until early morning the following day. After the party, the logbook of the security guard at Paco's condominium indicates that Paco returned to his Quezon City condominium at 2:45 a.m. Many other witnesses classmates and companions at the R&R restaurant, were not allowed to testify.

Rowena Bautista, an instructor and Chef at the culinary center, said Paco was in school from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and saw him again at about 6:30 p.m on July 16. The school’s registrar, Caroline Calleja, said she proctored a two-hour exam where Paco was present from 1:30 p.m. Paco attended his second round of midterm exams on July 17 commencing at 8 a.m. Only then did Paco leave for Cebu in the late afternoon of July 17, 1997.

Airline and airport personnel also came to court with their flight records, indicating that Paco did not take any flight on July 16, 1997 nor was he onboard any chartered aircraft that landed in or departed from Cebu during the relevant dates, except the 5 p.m. PAL flight on July 17, 1997 from Manila to Cebu.

Larrañaga's counsels Felicitas Aquino Arroyo and Sandra Marie Olaso Coronel urged the high court to admit the amicus curiae from the Basque Bar Council (BBC), Barcelona Bar Associations (BBA) and Bar Association of Madrid.

The three organizations expressed their interest in the case of Larrañaga since he was "Spanish citizen with origins in the Basque Country and therefore a member of the European Union." The BBA mentioned that the execution of a Spanish citizen would be in breach of the violation of the principle of reciprocity in international law, noting that if a Filipino citizen is found guilty in Spain, no Spanish court would have imposed the death penalty, nor would have allowed him extradited to any country imposing capital punishment. (The EU itself forbids capital punishment and its abolition is a requirement for any applicant state.) Former Ambassador Sedfrey Ordóñez claims he is the victim of a mistrial.

Fair Trials Abroad, an NGO working on behalf of EU citizens who face a miscarriage of justice, entered an Amicus brief which was submitted to the Supreme court by the European Commission's Manila delegate. The Amicus argued that under both international and Philippine law, Paco had been the subject of an unfair trial and had never been given the opportunity to show his innocence. FTA has since represented Paco before the United Nations appealing against injustice in the Philippines. Sarah de Mas, spokesperson for FTA who brought the case to the attention of the European Parliament and successive presidencies of the European Union stated that Paco had served a lengthy sentence for a crime he could not have committed.

[SPRINGFIELD_XD_40]

Sir: Why are you changing your stand? Have you discovered something that made you change your mind? Could you share it with us please?

It just so happened that I know someone who knows the REAL SUSPECTS namely :

JOSMAN AZNAR " isog baho sa urgello "
UY BROTHERS " nadala sa kahig "
ROWEN ADLAWAN " samot mas baho pa ni Josman "
TISOY " songer of the century "

That someone I am talking about is a person who wouldnt lie to me or make up something just to promote hiimself . He was just being honest because we ended up talking about DATH PENALTY in the Philippines .

The whole time naa sa MANILA si Paco when the tragedy happened . Kadtong nag rally na ang ang mama sa mga CHiong sisters sa Fuente Osmena , si Rowen ga lingkod lingkod sa may Anitas pinapatong pa ang tiil unya nahibong na lang ang akong kaila na naa ra sa likod diay niya ang suspect sa pagpatay sa Chiong sisters w/o knowing till that night kay nanghambog pa in detail si Rowen and Josman sa nahitabo .
