Political analyst sinupalpal si Sen. Kiko on difference between search warrant & warrant of arrest
In reaction to the killing of Ozamiz Mayor Aldong Parojinog and his wife, Sen. Pangilinan released a statement casting doubt of the news report of the raid.
“Hinatid ang warrant of arrest ng alas dos ng madaling araw. Pinatay ang CCTV (closed-circuit television) bago pasukin ang bahay. Lahat ng 15 pinaghihinalaang mga drug lord at kanilang mga ‘armadong-armadong’ bodyguard ay nasa pinangyrihan ng krimen at pinatay. Walang sugatan na o nasawi sa panig ng PNP. Hindi makakatotohanan. Pwedeng gawin ito kaninuman.”
Political analyst and Manila Times Columnist Malou Tiquia took to Facebook lecturing Sen. Pangilinan, who happens to be a lawyer too, the difference between search warrant and warrant of arrest.

Ang search warrant at warrant of arrest Sir ay magkaiba. Sa spelling at saysay ay ibang iba. Yung Isa paghahalughug ng bahay, opisina o gusali. Yung isa, inaaresto ang tao o mga tao.
Ang search warrant ay ginagamit sa araw. Ngunit kung ang basehang affidavit ay nagsasabing ang sinasaliksik (baril o droga) ay nasa taong pinangalanan o sa lugar na sinabing saliksikin, ang warrant ay kailangang diretsong sabihin na ito ay puedeng ibigay sa ano mang oras. Napakadaling iikot ang mga baril at droga mula sa iba’t ibang lugar.
Mahigit dalawang oras ang pakikipaglaban ng pamilyang Parojinog laban sa team ni CInsp Espenido.
Ano ba ang oath of office ng isang mayor at bise mayor? May kataga bang resisting arrest o obstruction of justice?
Fr. Eliseo Mercado concurred with Malou and writes: “Tama po..! Search warrant must SPECIFY what is to be searched and where the search is to be done.. Warrant of Arrest is the court order for person/s SPECIFIED – name and surname in the Warrant… and for what alleged crime after probable cause has been established by the fiscal and the judge issuing the warrant has personally verified that the request for warrant of arrest is proper and in order…”
Meanwhile, netizen Michelle Clarke thought Pangilinan’s statement absurd. “To think nakaupo sya bilang senator for how many years. Tapos eto maririnig ng karaniwang mamayan sa kanila. Ang mga karaniwang mamayang kagaya ko looks up to our government official na maeducate din kami kahit sa mga simpleng bagay LNG na kagaya ng kaibahan ng search warrant at warrant of arrest. Ano ba”
Emil Magsino said this is normal to mislead the public. “Ma’am, alam nya/nila for sure n mgkaiba yan. It’s their intention pra pag-isipin nila ang tao and possibly.”
