“Ipinakita namin sa kanila dun sa piskalya. Eto, may permiso kami kay Gen. Empiso. Ano ba yung mga pinagsasabi niyo? Hindi niyo yata alam ang ginagawa niyo?
“Sabi ko, ‘Nakainsulto kayo. Idedemanda niyo pa si Paolo Gumabao! Idedemanda niyo ang mga artista namin, sina Rico Barrera? Pambihira naman kayo!
“Ang mga taong ito ay nagsakripisyo sa initan, sa maisan, para ipakita ang kabayanihan ng SAF… idedemanda niyo?’
“Idinemanda sila sa piskalya. Ongoing pa! Kita niyo ang katarantaduhan nung…”
The producer was also asked what was the reaction of the stars regarding this issue.
What is the reaction of Paolo, Rico, and other parts of the Mamasapano movie that was sued by SAF?
“Siyempre, hindi sila natutuwa. Anyway, I’m protecting them, I gave them lawyers,” expressed Atty. Topacio.
“Kita niyo, ha? Additional abala pa. Pinapunta pa nila si Paolo dun sa piskalya! E, bising-busy yung tao, di ba?”
The Ombudsman disregarded the case of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide filed against former President Noynoy Aquino, as well as former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Alan Purisima and former PNP-Special Action Force (SAF) head Getulio Napeñas. The Supreme Court affirmed it, in a vote of 15-0, in September 2019.
