SunStar File March 12, 2021 THE Regional Trial Court Branch 20 in Cebu City granted the petition of Lope Haictin, the father of Mekaella, one of the minor Lumad students taken into custody by local social welfare authorities, to immediately release his daughter from the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) 7 and return her to his custody.
In an eight-page decision penned by Judge Leah Geraldez on Thursday, March 11, 2021, the court said it found no factual and legal basis to confine Mekaella at the DSWD 7 Crisis Intervention Center.
DSWD 7 Director Rebecca Geamala said she has yet to receive the court order as she is still in Dumagute City.
