[STATEMENT] Reverse SC’s acquittal of Nuguid! Justice for environmental hero, Wilhelm Geertman!

Gawad Bayani ng Kalikasan (GBK) condemns the recent decision of the Supreme Court (SC), which acquitted Marvin Nuguid, the murderer of one of GBK 2013’s most distinguished Individual Awardees, Wilhelm Geertman. The SC’s reference to “glaring inconsistencies” in witness testimonies not only denies justice for Geertman but also reflects the weakness of the justice system in the Philippines.
