Remember Robert Blair Carabuena? He's the burly guy who was caught on cam verbally attacking and physically assaulting MMDA officer Saturnino Fabros August last year. Now, he faces arrest for not appearing in his arraignment plus he was so ordered by the court to double the amount of his bail he had previously posted. The bail is the lesser of his problems; I mean this road rager drives a Volvo and his previous bail amounted to measly Php12,000 and even if you double that to Php24,000 that's still a slap on the wrist. I guess Fabros,whom Carabuena reportedly slapped on the face, was a bit disappointed with that.
MANILA, Philippines—A Quezon City court on Thursday ordered the arrest of a Philip Morris executive who was caught on camera last year slapping a traffic enforcer.
Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court branch 42 Judge Juris Dilinila-Callanta, in an open court, also ruled for Robert Blair Carabuena to pay double the amount of bail he previously posted for his provisional liberty while directing his lawyer Caesar Ortega to explain why he should not be cited in contempt for his absence.
Carabuena was supposed to be arraigned Thursday before the court on a charge of direct assault upon an agent of a person in authority for his alleged attack on Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) constable Saturnino Fabros. But neither the subject of the criminal information nor his lawyer were present despite summons from the court.(Inquirer Online)
