    The three accused were picked up by police after the victim's siblings reported him missing. The victim's body was found in a rice field with multiple stab wounds. Investigators discovered through separate written confessions and forced re-enactments ordered by police that the three accused directly participated in the killing, which was ordered by Mayor Olvis for a reward. However, the extrajudicial confessions of the three accused are inadmissible because they were not assisted by counsel and their right against self-incrimination was violated during the forced re-enactments.

    CONSTI 2

    PEOLE OF THE PHILIPPINES VS. ANACLETO OLVIS


    GR NO. 71092 SEPTEMBER 30, 1987

    FACTS:

    On September 9, 1975, Alfredo and Estrella Bagon, siblings, went to the Police Station of Zamboanga to
    report their brother, Discredit (Deosdedit) Bagon, missing for 2 days, who was last seen together with
    Dominador Sorela (one of the 4 accused). The police picked up all the 3 accused and it was discovered
    that the body of the victim was left in the rice field. The necropsy report disclosed that the victim
    suffered several stab and hack wounds. Investigators found out, after ordering the accused to re-enact
    the incident, that the killing was ordered by Anacleto Olvis, mayor, for a reward of P3,000 each (through
    separate written confessions). The court charged Olvis as principal by inducement and the other 3 as
    principal by direct participation, for the crime of murder. On appeal, the court acquitted Olvis for having
    no evidence that tend to establish his complicity in the case, and sentenced the 3 to suffer the penalty of
    death.

    ISSUE:

    Whether or not the statements made by the 3 accused-appelants, as an extrajudicial confession, can
    stand up in court?

    RULING:

    No. The extrajudicial confessions made by the accused are inadmissible in evidence because it suffer
    from a Constitutional infirmity when the accused-appellants were not assisted by counsel when they
    "waived" their rights to counsel; and the forced re-enactments ordered by the investigating officers
    violates their right against self-incrimination which is, that “No person shall be compelled to be a
    witness against himself”.
