In ricordo del coraggio di Donna Maria de Bohorques (? – 24 settembre 1559)

In ricordo del coraggio di Donna Maria de Bohorques (? – 24 settembre 1559) Al fine di ricordare questa donna che è morta per la sua fede in Cristo Gesù, che con coraggio e determinazione è andata incontro ad una morte brutale, assassinata dai Domenicani durante il regno del terrore imposto dal Sant’Uffizio. Ecco, qui si cela il vero volto del cattolicesimo tutto, che si sta riorganizzando per…

Oaxaca - Santo Domingo

When the Dominicans were invited to come to Oaxaca they built their grandest monastery in the city of Oaxaca, Santo Domingo de Guzman. Yes, Saint Dominic was from the Spanish family Guzman.

Work on Santo Domingo began in 1551 but it wasn't inaugurated until 1608.

Santo Domingo sits on the hill at the opposite end of Alcalá, the pedestrian street, forming the northern anchor with the cathedral and zocalo as the southern.

It's by far the largest and grandest of the Dominican monasteries we visited this year. The inside is the most richly decorated.

There are several large gilded retablos in the side chapels too.

On the ceiling under the choir is a large family tree of St. Dominic. It is doubtless a little embellished.

The large front is impressive day and night.

Like all the monasteries it suffered when the state closed them and it was put to various uses: stable, military base, warehouse, etc. The church was closed to worship from the 1850's to the 1870's.

The monastery is now a cultural museum, and the grounds are a Ethnobotanic Garden. Both are excellent institutions.

The monastery has been excellently restored and maintained. Last time we were here they were finishing a newly carved retablo for a side altar and were applying gold leaf to the whole thing.

We didn't visit the museum or garden this year, having done that several times, but I think next year it will be time for both.

The community had to fight to get the military base closed and create the Ethnobotanic garden. The garden features local plants with a focus on their uses in Oaxacan culture, which can be fascinating. You need to be on a guided tour of the garden to enter and that makes sense as the guide will explain the uses of all the plants. The first time we went through we were with the Frontera Restaurant group and it really enhanced the experience to listen to the discussion between Rick Bayless and the guide.

The streets around the entrance are a focal point of Oaxacan life with music, art, crafts, food from street vendors and restaurants. It's almost always interesting to walk through the area.

For me, a visit to Oaxaca is really not complete without a visit to the area and to the church itself.

Santo Domingo de Guzmán, la última obra de Alejandro López

Los Santos son para la Iglesia un modelo de vida que se ofrece al creyente, así como intercesores entre Dios y los hombres. Sus distintos carismas hacen que podamos sentirnos identificados con ellos y que provoquen el despertar o aumento de la vocación que el Espíritu Santo provoca en cada uno de nosotros. Por eso es tan importante que sus representaciones, a través de las imágenes sagradas, transmitan los valores que encarnan y aparezcan imbuidos en una honda espiritualidad.

Todo eso es lo que encuentro en la obra de Alejandro López Imaginero, que podríamos calificar como el imaginero de las órdenes religiosas, puesto que dota a este género de una dignidad, monumentalidad y mundo interior verdaderamente únicos.

Su última obra es este Santo Domingo de Guzmán para la iglesia de su nombre en Guadix (Granada), que aparece totalmente concentrado en la lectura de un libro mariano. Nos lo representa en su juventud, con un rostro delicado, cuya quietud contrasta tanto con el dinamismo de los cabellos rizados, como con la propia postura, de enorme elegancia y gallardía, que nos deja ver al caballero cristiano, cuyas armas son la oración, el conocimiento y la fe, que le hacen merecedor del lábaro de la victoria ante el maligno. No podemos dejar de lado la riqueza en matices de la encarnadura, así como la cuidada vestimenta y su disposición, ideada por el propio autor.

Quizás Alejandro López sea el imaginero que mejor ha sabido adaptar al siglo XXI la estética granadina, de la que bebe en muchas de sus obras, llevándola a las más altas cotas de calidad.

SUBWAY BOSSES' ENGLISH NAME ANALYSIS

warning: I will mention something related to Catholicism here

These past days, I've been curious where does Ingo's name came from. I know Pokemon likes to do wordplays when it comes to naming characters so I decided to make a mini-research

INGO

Ingo's name comes from the term "ingoing"

I thought about it further then I realized it might came from the name "Domingo"

In the Philippines, Filipino Catholics love to give nicknames to their patron saints, like Tatang Usteng for St. Augustine and Tatang Enteng for St. Vincent Ferrer. I have a devotion to St. Dominic de Guzman and I dearly call him Tatang Inggo ("Tatang" means "father")

Yes, Inggo is a popular nickname for St. Dominic, just like Isko/Kiko for St. Francis

Back to name analysis, "Ingo" might derive from "Domingo." "Dominic" and "Domingo" come from "Dominicus," meaning "belonging to God"

EMMET

Emmet's name (probably) comes from the term "emit" (to throw or give off, to send out)

"Emmet" has many possible origins. First, "Emmet" can be a male variation of the name "Emma," which comes from the Germanic word "ermen," meaning "whole" or "universal"

"Emmet" can also come from the Hebrew word "אמת" (emét) meaning "truth" or from the old Persian word "امید" (omid) meaning "hope" or "aspiration"

There you go, a breakdown in Subway Bosses' names!

Recap:

"Ingo" might come from "Domingo," meaning "belonging to God" and "Emmet" means "whole," "universal," "truth," hope" or "aspiration"

Hope you like my mini-research! (finally done with my overthinking)

DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU SHOULD PLACE THE ROSARY UNDER THE PILLOW? !!!

It is recommended to keep a rosary, even if it is small, under the pillow.

Since I took this habit, my problems are solved more easily and it is a good method for those who have insomnia, you will see that they wake up with the rosary in their hands and have had a good rest.

Meaningful actions gain more power when their origin is known.

A beautiful story....

You also didn't know the story of the rosary?

I always wondered:

Who's had it happen to repeat the Marybirds so many times? What does that make any sense? , etc.

Now it is understood and every time they pray it, every Hail Mary is a beautiful rose for the Virgin. It is sure that we all know this beautiful prayer that is the Holy Rosary.

A legend has it that a Lego Brother (who was not a priest) of the Order of the Dominicans, could not read or write, so he could not read the Psalms, as was the custom in the convent of the time.

So, when he finished his chores at night (he was the goalkeeper, sweeper, mint, etc.) ) he went to the chapel of the convent and stood in front of the image of the Virgin Mary, and recited 150 Avemarias (the number of psalms), then retreated to his cell to sleep. In the morning, early in the morning, he would get up before all his brothers and head to the chapel to repeat his custom of greeting the Virgin.

The Senior Brother noticed that every day, when he came to the chapel to celebrate the morning prayers with all the monks, there was an exquisite smell of freshly cut roses and it made him curious, so he asked everyone who was in charge of adorning the altar of the Virgin so beautifully, to what the answer was that no one did, and the roses of the garden were not missing from their flowers.

Brother Lego became seriously ill; the other monks noticed that the Virgin's altar did not have the usual roses, and deducted that he was the one who put the roses. But how?

No one had ever seen him leave the convent, nor did they know he bought the beautiful roses.

One morning they missed that he had risen, but they couldn't find him anywhere. At last, they met in the chapel, and every monk entering was amazed, for brother Lego was kneeling in front of the image of the Virgin, ecstasy reciting his Avemaries, and to each one leading the Lady, a rose appeared in the vases. So after finishing his 150 salutations, he fell dead at the feet of the Virgin.

Over the years, Santo Domingo de Guzman, (it is said to be for the revelation of the Blessed. Virgin ) divided the 150 avemaries into three groups of 50, and associated them with Bible meditation: The Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries and the Glorious Mysteries, to which Saint Pope John Paul II added the Luminous Mysteries.

CHARGE YOUR ROSARY EVERY DAY

When you carry your Rosary, it's a headache to the enemy

When you use your Rosary, Satan collapses

When he sees you praying the Rosary, he fades away.

Let us Pray the Rosary every time, to keep the Enemy vanished.

Perhaps when you try to re-send this message, something is going to try to discourage you, but forward it anyway and you will see later how the Holy Spirit works, also in this way, collaborating to accelerate the triumph of the Virgin Mary.

BCS season 5 roundup!

Magic Man

-Saul Goodman is ~official~

-Ziiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeegler

-I ADORE the magic man montage

-The scene where Kim refuses Jimmy’s plan for convincing her client to take a plea deal and then does it herself anyway reminded me of when Jimmy told her to beat Howard to Mesa Verde and she initially declined but ended up sprinting through HHM

50% Off

-Nacho’s face when he sees his father in the restaurant 💔

-I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with context but I geeked out over Lalo giving Domingo the nick name Ocho Loco since we know him as Krazy 8 but no one has called him that in BSC yet

-This early still-Jimmy-at-heart phase of Saul Goodman is so fun to watch. Confidently strolling through the court house in ridiculous outfits dropping so many great phrases:

-Into every life a little rain must fall

-Life’s a rich pageant who are we to judge

The Guy for This

-HANK and GOMEY!!! What a perfect reveal

-I’d honestly forgotten that in Breaking Bad Hank said Krazy 8 was an informant but now it seems so obvious that we’d see how that came to be

-I’ll say it again, I love watching Kim Wexler yell

-A Suzuki Esteem, it’s an import

-Acker accuses Kim of saying anything to get what she wants and it seems to really affect her. I don’t think it gets to her because she believes it to be true of herself, but because she KNOWS that’s true of JIMMY

Namaste

-Me during the opening scene:

-Jimmy does the ole bang on the interview room door to make it seem like you’re walking away from the negotiating table trick that Hank JUST did to him to the criminals he’s meeting with

-My friends still call me Jimmy, you can too

Dedicado A Max

-Jimmy squeezing into the construction meeting 💀

-An all-time great Mcwexler scene: Kim role playing as Kevin

-The Acker scam is probably my favorite so far

-He’s claiming our prime contractor is an escaped felon lolol

-There’s a moment when Kim is confirming to Jimmy she wants to go after Kevin personally where she says “ok” and Jimmy replies “ok” while extending a beer her direction. She smirks. THIS is true Mcwexler happiness.

-Jimmy and Kim really make schemin and drinkin beers look so damn enjoyable

-Kim makes a hilarious face when Jimmy is on the phone with Mike and says “this is not like that other thing”

Wexler v Goodman

-I just feel like if just we get out there and we hustle we can do it!

-Jimmy is having FUN giving acting instructions. The whole shooting the commercial montage makes Jimmy so lovable

-The shot of Nacho and his car in that warehouse with missing windows is so sick

-Jonathan Banks plays Mike playing a sweet innocent old man so well

-No Cliff my hookers were taller than these

-Ofc Kim proposed to Jimmy

JMM

-Jimmy asks who the hell is Jorge de Guzman right when the opening credit for Tony Dalton pops up on screen

-They absolutely nailed the whole consummating the marriage scene because Jimmy is honest with Kim which showed way more intimacy than the actual act

-LIGHTNING BOLTS SHOOT FROM MY FINGERTIPS!!! I love that this specific language was included in the rant because now we know what Jimmy is thinking when he does the lil finger waggle to make something happen

Bagman

-One of the coolest things about this show is how it influences the way you view Breaking Bad on a rewatch, and this episode is a prime example. Seeing what Mike and Jimmy go through in Bagman completely recontextualizes their relationship for me. The closest feeling I can relate it to is when after you’ve known two people for a while you find out that they also know each other.

-Did Mike and Jimmy think they would be able to steal the car of the guy they baited and sniped???

Bad Choice Road

-Jimmy in the tub scene 👀

-Kim is the queen of impulsive decisiveness

-Ok Lalo IS Spider-Man. First the roof thing at Travel Wire and now him jumping off a ravine onto the esteem

-Jimmy pestering Kim with that ”pro bono means no money” argument is rich considering she held him down when his license was suspended

-When Lalo presses Jimmy for more about what happened in the desert Jimmy throws in the detail about drinking his pee, which was the same thing he did when Kim tried to get him to open up about what happened

Something Unforgiveable

-Kim snorting in laughter at Howard’s accusations of Jimmy made that scene

-There are a myriad of reasons why Kim turns on Howard and one I don’t see mentioned enough is TIMING!! Consider this, Jimmy tries to break up with Kim on the same day Howard approached her about Jimmy being unhinged. She brings this up to Jimmy that night almost as a way to distract from the heavy shit they’ve been experiencing. They spend the evening lightheartedly brainstorming schemes against Howard, then it becomes serious for Kim when she thinks going through with a plan will keep Jimmy in the relationship

-Jimmy leaves the mint chip off his room service sundae. I don’t exactly know why but it feels significant

-I’m trying to imagine how Jimmy felt when Kim did the finger guns at him. I imagine whatever he felt in that moment is what he was trying to convey to Kim when he did them to her in Saul Gone

Hey! As some of you know (or maybe not) one of the native languages of my country is Nawat, one that sadly these days is only spoken between some affectionally called grannys and grandpas.

For years the Nawat speaking people have been shamed, discriminated against and denied their heritage.

Not only a big portion of the culture and language died in the spanish conquest, on january 22th of 1932 occurred a mass genocide for anybody who was indigenous of around 25,000 people which led to parents not teaching nawat to their children in an attempt to save them from discrimination.

To this day only around ~100 native nawat speakers live predominately in Santo Domingo de Guzman and Izalco, with very few help of the government and basically no interest in saving the pieces of our culture we still have.

I for example was never taught in school most of the things Im telling you, schools only teach us native people "existed" and thats it. It infuriates me how the government is basically letting our OWN culture die with each day and favors outside white-centric culture.

Mind you all of this is a summary of all the shit that has gone through with our culture and native language, and you may be wondering

"Hey zag, I've seen you talk about some of this stuff in other posts/tags. Why the big post?"

Well basically last year (during my investigation) I came across a proyect that works actively with native Nawat speakers! And promotes the learning, cultivation and protection of the culture.

So much that they are working on imparting free online classes and are crowdfunding a free Nawat dictionary made with assesory and help of actual Nawat speakers!

At the moment they have achieved the 11% of the campain (The goal being 15,000) and I felt the need to share it with you all here. So if any of you would like to help Im pretty sure they will appreciate it greatly 💜 even if its just signal boosting it

You can find the crowdfund Here

Today, the Church remembers Saint Dominic (Spanish: Santo Domingo), (8 August 1170 – 6 August 1221 A.D.), a Castilian priest and founder of the Dominican Order.

Ora pro nobis.

In the earliest narrative source, by Jordan of Saxony, Dominic's parents are named Felix Guzman and Juanna of Aza. The story is told that before his birth his barren mother made a pilgrimage to the Abbey at Silos, and dreamt that a dog leapt from her womb carrying a flaming torch in its mouth, and "seemed to set the earth on fire." This story drew resonance from the fact that his order became known, after his name, as the Dominican order, Dominicanus in Latin which a play on words interpreted as Domini canis: "Dog of the Lord." Jordan adds that Dominic was brought up by his parents and a maternal uncle who was an archbishop.

The failure to name his parents is not unusual, since Jordan wrote a history of the Order's early years, rather than a biography of Dominic. A later source, still of the 13th century, also gives their names as Juana and Felix. Nearly a century after Dominic's birth, a local author asserted that Dominic's father was "vir venerabilis et dives in populo suo" ("an honoured and wealthy man in his village"). The travel narrative of Pero Tafur, written circa 1439 (about a pilgrimage to Dominic's tomb in Italy), states that Dominic's father belonged to the family de Guzmán, and that his mother belonged to the Aça or Aza family.

Dominic was educated in the schools of Palencia (they became a university soon afterwards) where he devoted six years to the arts and four to theology. In 1191, when Spain was desolated by famine, young Dominic gave away his money and sold his clothes, furniture and even precious manuscripts to feed the hungry. Dominic reportedly told his astonished fellow students, "Would you have me study off these dead skins, when men are dying of hunger?" In 1194, around age twenty-five, Dominic joined the Canons Regular in the canonry in the Cathedral of Osma, following the rule of Saint Augustine.

Around 1205, Dominic, along with Diego de Acebo, began a program in the south of France, to convert the Cathars, a Christian religious sect with gnostic and dualistic beliefs, which the Roman Catholic Church deemed heretical. As part of this, Catholic-Cathar public debates were held at Verfeil, Servian, Pamiers, Montréal and elsewhere. Dominic concluded that only preachers who displayed real sanctity, humility and asceticism could win over convinced Cathar believers. However, even Dominic managed only a few converts among the Cathars.

In 1215, Dominic established himself, with six followers, in a house given by Peter Seila, a rich resident of Toulouse. Dominic saw the need for a new type of organization to address the spiritual needs of the growing cities of the era, one that would combine dedication and systematic education, with more organizational flexibility than either monastic orders or the secular clergy. He subjected himself and his companions to the monastic rules of prayer and penance; and meanwhile Bishop Foulques gave them written authority to preach throughout the territory of Toulouse.

In the same year, the year of the Fourth Lateran Council, Dominic and Foulques went to Rome to secure the approval of the Pope, Innocent III. Dominic returned to Rome a year later, and was finally granted written authority in December 1216 and January 1217 by the new pope, Honorius III for an order to be named "The Order of Preachers" ("Ordo Praedicatorum", or "O.P.," popularly known as the Dominican Order).

Blessed Cecilia Caesarini, who was received by Dominic into his new order, in her old age described him as "...thin and of middle height. His face was handsome and somewhat fair. He had reddish hair and beard and beautiful eyes ... His hands were long and fine and his voice pleasingly resonant. He never got bald, though he wore the full tonsure, which was mingled with a few grey hairs."

Although he traveled extensively to maintain contact with his growing brotherhood of friars, Dominic made his headquarters in Rome. In 1219, Pope Honorius III invited Dominic and his companions to take up residence at the ancient Roman basilica of Santa Sabina, which they did by early 1220. Before that time the friars had only a temporary residence in Rome at the convent of San Sisto Vecchio, which Honorius III had given to Dominic circa 1218, intending it to become a convent for a reformation of nuns at Rome under Dominic's guidance. The official foundation of the Dominican convent at Santa Sabina with its studium conventuale, the first Dominican studium in Rome, occurred with the legal transfer of property from Pope Honorius III to the Order of Preachers on 5 June 1222, though the brethren had taken up residence there already in 1220. The studium at Santa Sabina was the forerunner of the studium generale at Santa Maria sopra Minerva. The latter would be transformed in the 16th century into the College of Saint Thomas and then in the 20th century into the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum sited at the convent of Saints Dominic and Sixtus.

In the winter of 1216–1217, at the house of Ugolino de' Conti, he first met William of Montferrat, Dominican friar, afterwards a close friend. According to Guiraud, Dominic abstained from meat, "observed stated fasts and periods of silence", "selected the worst accommodations and the meanest clothes", and "never allowed himself the luxury of a bed". "When travelling, he beguiled the journey with spiritual instruction and prayers". Guiraud also states that Dominic frequently traveled barefoot and that "rain and other discomforts elicited from his lips nothing but praises to God".

Dominic arrived in Bologna on 21 December 1218. A convent was established at the Mascarella church by the Blessed Reginald of Orleans. Soon afterwards they had to move to the church of San Nicolò of the Vineyards. Dominic settled in this church and held here the first two General Chapters of the order.

Dominic died at the age of fifty-one, according to Guiraud "exhausted with the austerities and labours of his career". He had reached the convent of St Nicholas at Bologna, Italy, "weary and sick with a fever". Guiraud states that Dominic "made the monks lay him on some sacking stretched upon the ground" and that "the brief time that remained to him was spent in exhorting his followers to have charity, to guard their humility, and to make their treasure out of poverty". He died at noon on 6 August 1221. His body was moved to a simple sarcophagus in 1233. Under the authority of Pope Gregory IX, Dominic was canonized in 1234.

O God of the prophets, you opened the eyes of your servant Dominic to perceive a famine of hearing the word of the Lord, and moved him, and those he drew about him, to satisfy that hunger with sound preaching and fervent devotion: Make your Church, dear Lord, in this and every age, attentive to the hungers of the world, and quick to respond in love to those who are perishing; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

De Guzman v. People; Pastor V. Pastor; People V. Pastor and De Guzman, G.R. No. 255100, 255229, 255503. February 26, 2024

FACTS

Three related cases have been consolidated and brought before the court. 

Domingo V. De Guzman III was charged with murder. Tomas Pastor, Enzo's father, filed a separate petition for certiorari against Dalia Guerrero Pastor, Enzo's wife.

The Prosecution's Version of Events

On June 12, 2014, Enzo was employed as a race car driver. He was using a yellow truck to transport his race car. At 7:00 p.m., Enzo, along with his helper and mechanic, Salazar, left Enzo's home to drive to Batangas for a race. Dalia, Enzo's wife, and Enzo's mother were also present. After dropping off the race car, Enzo, Salazar, and the driver returned to Enzo's home around 9:45 p.m. Enzo and the driver left again, heading to Clark, Pampanga, to drop off the driver. Dalia called Enzo around five times as they made their way to Clark.

On the way to Clark, as the truck approached the intersection of Visayas Avenue and Congressional Avenue, a man wearing black clothes on a motorcycle approached them. The man instructed the driver to lay on the floor of the truck and fired at Enzo. Salazar, who was able to see the gunman, observed that one of his eyes was “kirať” and that Enzo was shot on his left side. Enzo died from his injuries.

Police Officer II Edgar Angel Ybañez (PO2 Angel) confessed to the killing of Enzo, saying that he came clean due to his conscience. PO2 Angel said that he feared he would be killed. PO2 Angel said De Guzman hired him to kill Enzo and named Dalia, Enzo's wife, as the mastermind.

De Guzman and Dalia were in an illicit relationship, and Dalia’s father had threatened to disinherit her because of it. De Guzman first met with PO2 Angel in November 2013, and asked him to beat up

Enzo. They met several times to plan, but PO2 Angel did not agree to convince him to carry out the plan. Dalia was having an affair with Enzo's wife, which De Guzman inquired about in February 2014. In June 2014, De Guzman asked PO2 Angel for proof that Enzo was hurting his wife. De Guzman showed him a photo of a woman, later identified as Dalia, whose face and arm were bruised. De Guzman then handed PO2 Angel PHP 50,000.00 cash as down payment.

De Guzman’s Counter-Affidavit

On October 24, 2014, De Guzman submitted his counter-affidavit, denying that an entrapment operation on him took place. He said on August 26, 2014, he was repositioning his car at the open space parking across Unique Hotel when four (4) men, whom he later identified as PO2 Angel, PO3 Alvin Quisimbing, a person named Salazar, and a person named Moreno, approached him at gunpoint and forcibly tried to open the door of his car. Unable to open the car door, the four (4) men identified themselves as police officers from the PNP-CIDU, arrested and threatened De Guzman. De Guzman was brought inside the Toyota Vios for about 14 seconds, handcuffed, and given a bundle of money. PO2 Angel’s extrajudicial confession should not be indicted for the crimes complained of.

Dalia’s Defense

On January 21, 2015, Dalia filed a manifestation with motion to dismiss invoking the illegality of her arrest and the inadmissibility of all evidence seized pursuant to People v. Dela Rosa. She contends that since PO2 Angel retracted his extrajudicial confession, it follows that her implication emanating from the inadmissible extrajudicial confession is consequently inadmissible evidence as well.

PO2 Angel’s Testimony at Trial

At trial, PO2 Angel testified that he was arrested on August 23, 2014. He insisted that his arrest was illegal as no shabu or other illegal drug was confiscated from him and he was shocked to find out that he was charged with violation of Section 5 of Republic Act No. 9165. PO2 Angel claims he was detained by the QCPD-CIDU, which forced him to sign an extrajudicial confession where he supposedly admitted to the killing of Enzo. He denied knowing De Guzman.

Trial Court’s Ruling

On February 27, 2015, De Guzman filed a motion for judicial determination of probable cause. The Court denied De Guzman’s motion for judicial determination of probable cause, which should have recommended his indictment for murder. Dalia filed a motion to dismiss the case against her on March 3, 2015.

Subsequent Motions and Orders

On March 15, 2015, the prosecution filed a motion to consolidate the parricide case against Dalia with the murder case against De Guzman and PO2 Angel. On August 5, 2015, Branch 85 issued an Omnibus Order that granted the withdrawal of the two Informations, granted Dalia’s motion for leave, denied De Guzman’s motions, granted Dalia’s motion for omnibus lack of merit, granted the urgent ex parte motion, and ordered the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation to issue hold-departure orders. On August 12, 2015, De Guzman was apprehended by officers of the National Bureau of Investigation.

Court of Appeals Ruling

The Court of Appeals found that PO2 Angel did not definitively identify Dalia as the mastermind. Dalia was privy to the transaction between PO2 Angel and De Guzman, in that the meeting between De Guzman and PO2 Angel to kill Enzo was scheduled to take place at 11:00 a.m. Dalia supplied information on Enzo’s whereabouts on the night Enzo was killed as De Guzman and Dalia had been talking on the phone that night. The Court of Appeals dismissed the criminal case against her for alleged lack of probable cause.

With regard to De Guzman's petition, the appellate court found that probable cause existed against him for the murder of Enzo. Nidia's job as a gun-for-hire was precisely what boosted his

credibility as a witness. De Guzman’s execution theory that the police merely coerced him into signing the confession which he did not even have the opportunity to read, signing interviews with the media which have already been prepared by the police, and even falsely implicate De Guzman as the mastermind in the killing of Enzo.

By its Consolidated Resolution dated January 11, 2021, the Court of Appeals denied the motion for reconsideration of De Guzman and the separate partial motions for reconsideration filed by the OSG and Tomas.

Tomas Pastor’s Arguments to the Supreme Court

Tomas asserts that the evidence taken together is sufficient for an average person, using common sense, to reasonably infer that Dalia conspired with De Guzman and PO2 Angel to kill Enzo. He claims the Court of Appeals applied a “honeyed double standard” against Dalia but at the same time upholds the sufficiency of circumstantial case evidence against De Guzman. Tomas also asserts that the Court of Appeals gravely erred in granting Dalia’s petition for certiorari despite its finding that Branch 91 did not commit grave abuse of discretion when it found probable cause for her arrest.

ISSUES

G.R. No. 255100 (De Guzman v. People of the Philippines):

May the Court review the uniform factual findings of the trial court and the appellate court on the sufficiency of the evidence against De Guzman vis-à-vis the warrant of arrest issued on him and the denial of his application for bail?

G.R. Nos. 255229 and 255503 (Tomas Pastor v. Dalia Guerrero Pastor and People of the Philippines v. Dalia Guerrero Pastor and Domingo V. De Guzman III):

May the Court review the conflicting factual findings of the trial court and the appellate court on the existence of probable cause against Dalia vis-à-vis the indictment for parricide and the consequent issuance of a warrant of arrest on her?

RULING

G.R. No. 255100 (De Guzman v. People of the Philippines):

Yes, the Court reviewed the uniform factual findings of the trial court and the appellate court on the sufficiency of the evidence against De Guzman vis-à-vis the warrant of arrest issued on him and the denial of his application for bail.

Section 1, Rule 45 of the Rules of Court states that a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 is not an appeal but a special civil action distinctly different from an ordinary appeal. The Supreme Court is not precluded from scrutinizing the evidence if the case falls under any of the exceptions to the general rule barring a review of factual findings.

Here, the Court found that this case presents exceptional circumstances warranting a review of the factual findings. The Court considered the existence of strong circumstantial evidence, including De Guzman's extrajudicial confession and the testimonies of several witnesses, that contradicted the appellate court's findings.

Therefore, the Court found the evidence sufficient to establish probable cause for the issuance of a warrant of arrest against De Guzman and to deny his application for bail.

G.R. Nos. 255229 and 255503 (Tomas Pastor v. Dalia Guerrero Pastor and People of the Philippines v. Dalia Guerrero Pastor and Domingo V. De Guzman III):

Yes, the Court review the conflicting factual findings of the trial court and the appellate court on the existence of probable cause against Dalia vis-à-vis the indictment for parricide and the consequent issuance of a warrant of arrest on her.

The Court has the power to review factual findings in a petition for certiorari when there are conflicting findings of fact between the trial court and the appellate court. Furthermore, a finding of probable cause merely requires evidence showing that, more likely than not, a crime has been committed and that the accused is probably guilty thereof.

In the case at bar, the Court found that the appellate court erred in dismissing the parricide case against Dalia. The Court held that there was ample evidence on record clearly identifying Dalia as a co-conspirator and detailing her participation in the crime. This evidence, though circumstantial, was sufficient to establish probable cause for the issuance of a warrant of arrest.

Therefore, the Court ruled that there was probable cause against Dalia, and reinstated the warrant of arrest and hold departure order against her.

Explorando la Trayectoria de Chamel Gaspard: Un Empresario Venezolano con Raíces y Compromisos Profundos

Nacido el 15 de febrero de 1959 en Caracas, Venezuela, Chamel Gaspard personifica una historia de dedicación, valores familiares y contribuciones significativas. Hijo de Antonio Gaspard y Dolores Francisca Morell, Chamel proviene de una rica herencia que fusiona las tradiciones libanesas y catalanas.

La llegada de su padre, Antonio Gaspard, a Venezuela en enero de 1948, marcó el inicio de una búsqueda por un futuro basado en trabajo honesto y constante. Originario de una familia tradicional del norte de Líbano, Antonio se unió a miles de inmigrantes que anhelaban oportunidades en suelo venezolano. Por otro lado, Dolores Francisca Morell, su madre, aportó a la mezcla sus raíces como hija de comerciantes catalanes.

Chamel Gaspard, el tercer hijo de la familia, comenzó su educación en el Colegio La Salle la Colina, donde recibió una formación integral, tanto religiosa como deportiva, valores que ha mantenido y cultivado a lo largo de su vida. Su paso por el Colegio Domingo Savio de los Teques le dejó una profunda devoción por la Virgen María Auxiliadora, que ha guiado sus decisiones en lo personal, familiar y profesional.

Durante sus años formativos, Chamel Gaspard no solo fortaleció su fe religiosa, sino que también adquirió disciplina en los estudios, orden personal, buen comportamiento, formación deportiva y desarrollo personal. Estos principios, inculcados desde su nacimiento por sus padres, enfatizaban la importancia del trabajo, la honestidad, el bienestar del prójimo y ser generadores de empleo.

Después de completar su bachillerato en Ciencias en el Colegio Emil Friedman en Caracas, Chamel Gaspard se aventuró a Inglaterra, donde se sumergió en estudios de Ingeniería Mecánica en el Lincoln Collage of Technology y Sunderland Polytechnic, graduándose con Honores en Segundo Grado en 1981. Este periodo estuvo marcado por el sacrificio académico debido a la rigurosa educación inglesa, que exigía responsabilidad continua y pruebas universitarias al final de cada año académico.

A los 18 años, mientras estudiaba en Lincolnshire, Chamel Gaspard demostró su valentía al salvar a una mujer ahogada en el río While, ganándose el reconocimiento de la Reina Isabel por su coraje. Siguiendo el ejemplo de su padre, siempre conjugó sus estudios con oportunidades de trabajo para costear su educación en el extranjero.

Como filántropo comprometido, Chamel Gaspard ha extendido su mano solidaria a los más necesitados, brindando becas a estudiantes de escasos recursos y apoyando a la comunidad estudiantil. Junto con su hermano José, ha facilitado el acceso a viviendas para colaboradores del Grupo J Gaspard, demostrando su compromiso con el bienestar de su equipo y las comunidades circundantes.

Chamel Gaspard, a lo largo de los años, ha extendido su generosidad a diversas comunidades, apoyando escuelas, hospitales, comedores infantiles e iglesias. Uno de los ejemplos notables es su colaboración con la Iglesia Santo Domingo de Guzman en Lechería, trabajando junto al Monseñor Enrique Ovies González para impulsar iniciativas beneficiosas para la comunidad.

En este blog, exploraremos más a fondo la vida y las contribuciones de Chamel Gaspard, destacando cómo sus valores, experiencias y acciones han dejado una huella positiva tanto en el ámbito empresarial como en el bienestar de las comunidades a las que ha servido.
