Dear Ms. Guangco:
This is to official request from the Administration the grant of parole
application by undersigned whose confinement at the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), Zamboanga City, had commenced on November 3, 2022, to enforce judgment rendered on July 22, 2022 by the Regional Trial Court, Branch 12, Zamboanga City in Criminal Case No. 32036, setting therein the indeterminate penalty of imprisonment of Four (4) Months and One (1) day of Arresto Menor in its medium period as Minimum, which shall be completed on March 4, 2023. (Underlinings supplied, for emphasis)
The full context of the dispositive in the said Judgment reads:
“WHEREFORE, all the foregoing considered, judgment is
hereby rendered finding both the accused herein, CHRISTOPHER GABASA y BACHOCO, a.k.a. “Butch”, and GILBERT PIOQUINTO y VICENTE, guilty beyond reasonable doubt, for the crime of Estafa, as defined and penalized by Article 315(2) of the Revised Penal Code, as amended by Section 85 of Republic Act No. 10951, and there being no mitigating and/or aggravating circumstances to consider, they are each hereby sentenced to suffer the indeterminate penalty of imprisonment of Four (4) Months and One (1) day of Arresto Menor in its medium period as Minimum to One (1) year Eleven (11) Months and Twenty-One (21) days of Prision Correccional in its minimum period as Maximum.
‘The same Accused are further ordered to jointly and solidarily
pay the private complainant-offended party herein the following sum:
1. P900,000.00, representing actual damages, plus 6%
interest per annum to be reckoned from the date constructive demand was made against the Accused by the offended party until the same is fully paid; and, 2. P100,000.00 in moral damages; and, 3. P100,000.00 in exemplary damages.
‘Costs against both Accused.
‘SO ORDERED.”
By supplication, I shall stand myself before you on Romans 10:13: “For
everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” That as a man of God, I implore you to bestow mercy upon me as I trust that grace abounds in your heart.
Be it stressed that I am a person with disability living daily with my crutches,
and by God’s grace, I continuously serve His people as a pastor of the Living Covenant Ministry even during my confinement at CIDG. As a physically- challenged person, it is sheerly my faith in God that sustained me throughout this ordeal, and after serving my minimum sentence, God will open the ark consigned to me.
Be assured that my regained liberty from confinement can neither endanger
my own life and others, nor the safety and well-being of the community; thus, assuring this Honorable Board that my release will not be incompatible with the interest and welfare of society.
Further, herein applicant is not disqualified to pursue this parole application
under the Revised Rules and Regulations of the Board of Pardons and Parole, as I consent to be constantly surveilled by my own undersigned counsel upon my release.
By the Hallowed Name of Jesus, I, CHRISTOPHER GABASA y
BACHOCO, fervently pray that this Honorable Board shall act favorably upon my parole application.
Respectfully,
CHRISTOPHER GABASA y BACHOCO
