Updated March 12, 2021 9:05pm The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Friday filed several criminal charges against 11 people in connection with the death of flight attendant Christine Dacera. Complaints for obstruction of justice were filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ) against Dacera’s companions at a Makati hotel where she celebrated New Year’s Eve. They are Mark Anthony Rosales, Rommel Galido, John Pascual dela Serna III, Gregorio Angelo Rafael de Guzman, Jezreel Rapinan, Alain Chen, Reymar Englis, Louie Delima and Darwin Joseph Macalla. Their lawyer Neptali Maroto was also included in the complaint.
Charged with falsification of official document was Maj. Michael Nick W. Sarmiento who conducted the initial autopsy.
Also charged were Mark Anthony Rosales, Darwin Joseph Macalla, Gregorio Angelo Rafael de Guzman, Alain Chen and lawyer Neptali Maroto, and five of Dacera’s friends Romel Galido, Reymar Englis, Louie Delima, John Pascual dela Serna III, and Jezreel Rapinan,
The complaints against them were filed by the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) Death Investigation Division (DID) on Friday, March 12.
“Results of the NBI investigation revealed the glaring inconsistencies in the PNP autopsy report,” the complaint said.
It said that the “results of the autopsy report conducted by the NBI Medico Legal Division chief revealed that in contrast to the autopsy report of P/Maj. Sarmiento, M.D., victim’s urinary bladder was full of urine and in fact was able to extract 130 ml (milligrams) of urine and no abrasion was found in her labia.”
SINGAPORE - Malls in Singapore have fallen silent this festive season, when volunteers from The Salvation Army usually ring bells to solicit public donations.
The familiar red kettles used for The Salvation Army s annual fund-raiser, known as Christmas Kettling, can still be found at selected shopping centres, but they are unmanned due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Members of the public can drop cash into the kettle pots or scan the QR code on them to make a donation. They can also give online at christmaskettling.sg.
But the charity says that having no bells for this Christmas fund-raiser will have a devastating impact on its ability to serve its needy beneficiaries next year.
