                    [Summary] => Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said yesterday all is not lost despite the acquittal of former Assemblyman Arturo Pacificador in the 1986 murder of former Antique governor Evelio Javier.


This, as the Philippine government could still run after his son, Rodolfo, who has been seeking political asylum in Canada.


"(The acquittal of Pacificador) will not affect our desire to have his son extradited because I think in the decision there seems to be an indication that he was the real mastermind, not his father," Gonzalez told reporters.

                    [Summary] => The Philippines has lost its bid to have Rodolfo Pacificador extradited from Canada to face trial for the murder of former Antique governor Evelio Javier in 1986 after the Canadian Supreme Court rejected with finality the government’s appeal for his turnover.


In an "extremely urgent" memorandum to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa said the High Court of Canada denied the application for leave to appeal Pacificador’s case filed by the Canadian justice department.

"We are afraid that Canada might be a haven of Filipinos facing charges here," Justice Secretary Hernando Perez said as he allayed Canada’s fears Pacificador will not be accorded due process when he faces trial back home.
