00:00The Forfeiture case of Marcos was dismissed by the Sandigan Bayan because of the inordinate delay or the delay of the hearing.
00:09This was due to an anti-draft court in the motion to dismiss filed by Marcos this July.
00:14In 1987, the Presidential Commission on Good Government of PCGG,
00:19former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., former First Lady Imelda Marcos,
00:23and Roman Cruz were the first to be dismissed.
00:25This was due to their frequent visits to the Pinugay Estate in Tanay, Rizal,
00:30as well as to several lottos, mansions, and condominiums in Baguio, Metro Manila, and California in America.
00:36The damages amounted to Php 276 million,
00:40which does not correspond to the legal earnings of Marcos' wife.
00:44In the decision of the anti-draft court,
00:46the rights of the accused were violated in the swift resolution of the case
00:50and according to the court's record, there is a lack of efforts of the defendants.
00:55According to the court, there will no longer be a fair trial
00:58because more than three decades have passed and there are witnesses who may have died
01:03and there are documents that may not be found anymore.
01:06The court also concluded that Imelda Marcos is already 95 years old,
01:10so it is possible that her memories are no longer clear and her fate is already sealed.
01:15According to the PCJG, they will also consult the Office of the Solicitor General regarding the disposal of the case.
01:22GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the statement of the soldier.
