GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Relatives of the late flight attendant Christine Angelica Dacera has appealed for help from President Duterte as they maintained that the victim was sexually abused and killed while attending a New Year’s eve party with friends at a hotel in Makati City.
Sharon Dacera, the victim’s mother, sought the help of Duterte to give justice for the death of her daughter whose remains arrived in the city from Manila on Thursday.
Talking to reporters at a local funeral parlor where the her daughter’s remains were taken, Dacera said they have witnesses and pieces of evidence to prove that her daughter was sexually abused as she called on the other suspects who remain at-large to come out and shed light on the incident.

PNP Director General Debold Sinas’ bold warning to order his men to hunt down and use police subpoena powers on nine men linked to the rape with homicide charge filed by the PNP for the death of Christine Dacera has become an empty threat.
The eight of 11 suspects who have not yet presented themselves to police investigation need not worry in the meantime about being arrested even if the 72 hours ultimatum aired by Sinas expires.
They are in no way obligated to heed Sinas’s demand for them to show up for questioning by the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) because the Office of the Prosecutor of Makati City has already taken jurisdiction of the case.
