integral part hereof as Annex “A”.
2. As of the moment, no criminal complaint for alleged violation of PD
1865 was filed before the Office of the City Prosecutor neither an

of the proper information against the Petitioners in court by the

“(c) Any person in custody who is not yet charged in court may
apply for bail with any court in the province, city or
municipality where he is held”

contracting severe complications when infected by COVID-19. Other
than the petitioner, there were many other detainees at the CIDG
Cebu City Field Unit 7 and some did not even wear face masks.

Considering that strict protocols are not followed at the CIDG Cebu
City Field Unit 7 then the longer petitioner is detained there the
more at risk he is in contracting COVID-19.

court or any government authorities whenever their presence is
required or necessary in connection with the instant case;
6. That the instant case is “BAILABLE” in nature thus Petitioners are
qualified to apply for bail considering that the main purpose for bail
is to guarantee the appearance of the accused at the trial, or
whenever so required by the court;
7. That considering that no information was yet filed by the Mandaue
City Prosecutor’s Office, there is a need for the Honorable Court to fix
the amount of bail bond for each of the Petitioner on account of the
crime by which they were apprehended;
8. That this instant Petition is not intended to delay proceedings of this
case but for reasons above stated particularly for humanitarian
reasons;

the following:
