Dumulog sa Supreme Court (SC) ang isa sa mga nagmamay-ari ng Vallacar Transit Inc. (VTI) na si Roy matapos muling nakuha ng kanyang kapatid na si Leo Rey ang Ceres South Terminal at VTI head office sa Bacolod City.
Naghain ang nakakatandang Yanson ng 16-page petition para sa writ of amparo na may kasamang application for a Temporary Protection Order (TEPO).
Ayon kay Roy, kailangan umano ng proteksiyon ng kanyang mga kapatid na sina Ricardo Jr. Celina at Emily na iligal na idinitine ng mga otoridad.
Una rito, inakusahan ni Emily Yanson, corporate secretary ng Yanson Group of Bus Companies (YGBC) na sabik umanong ibenta ng kanilang nakababatang kapatid na si Leo Rey ang kanilang bus company sa highest bidder.
“[Ricardo Jr. and Emily], together with other individuals, are inside the main office of VTI located in Ceres Compound, Purok Himaya, Brgy. Masinlingan, Bacolod City. That office is currently surrounded by over [300] heavily armed policemen, some of them from Iloilo, standing side-by-side to prevent anyone rom entering or leaving that VTI head office. Because of the presence and actions of the armed policemen and the directives of the respondents not to allow the ingress or egress of any person or supplies inside said office including food and water, [Ricardo Jr., Celina and Emily] fear for their lives. Worse, they had cut-off electric power within the office no different from that which they had done in the South Terminal on August 6, 2019, the temperature in which has risen to about 30 degrees Celcius,” base sa petisyon.
Kasama sa mga respondent sina PNP Chief Police Gen. Oscar Albayalde, Pololice Major Gen. Reynaldo Biay, Police Brig. Gen. Rene Pamuspusan, Police Col. Michael John Dubria at iba pang personalidad.
