Last Wednesday, lawyer Ernesto Francisco, one of the private prosecutors who represented the families of Teehankee's victims asked the Supreme Court to nullify the Board of Pardons and Parole's recommendation for sentence commutation and the subsequent grant of executive clemency to Teehankee.The release of Claudio Teehankee, Jr. caused waves recently. The Hultmans claim they were never informed of the pending release. And yet there appears to be a document they signed signifying their apparent notice. The document was coursed through their lawyer- One Ernesto “Jun” Fransisco, Jr! This same attorney, is filing a case to cause the return of Teehankee to the prison system. And yet the release appears to be the result of his own doing. How could the Hultmans not have been informed of the release?
Perhaps the answer lies with their legal counsel.
Jun Fransisco appears to be handling other equally controversial cases, and sells himself as a “crusading lawyer.” Is he?
Just today, the Ateneo Lawyer Jun Francisco sued Brian Gorrells lawyer /activist Atty. Trixie Angeles and UP /activist Atty. Argee Guevarra. The case actually is harassment and holds no legal basis. Nevertheless, it was filed without the usual attempts to determine true liability or fault- A requirement in the judicial system, to prevent unnecessary and harassment suits.
I wholeheartedly support the “MAROON” lawyers!
Jun appeared as Magdalo lawyer quite recently, after the November 29 incident at the Manila Penn. He volunteered his services to Sen. Trillanes, et al, who were charged with rebellion. Some civilian co-accused, who needed lawyers too, approached him for representation. He told the civilians, “I’m sorry. I only represent people with NAMES.” At the time, he succeeded in convincing former Vice-President Teofisto Guingona and Sen. Trillanes and his group, to take his services for free and easing out their original lawyer. The irate civilians had no other recourse but to obtain their own paid counsels. But not after Jun Fransisco left a very bad taste in their mouth.
When the impeachment case against Desierto was filed some years ago, jaded political observers, suspicious journalists and other non-believers first looked the man over, from head to toe, front to ba
ck. Alas, he is neither an Erap fanatic nor a Gloria enthusiast. He is obviously, PRO-HIMSELF!
According to an interview given by Jun he started BRIBING judges around 1994 as an associate in the prestigious ACCRA Law Office. He admits as much when he filed the impeachment case against Aniano Desierto in 2001 saying that he himself brought the BRIBE money to Desierto. Jun said he gave Desierto through a Fernando "Ding" Timbol, reportedly Desierto's PR man, video equipment worth P273,000 aside from CASH given directly to the ombudsman. (photo: Atty. Trixie Angeles)
