May pera yan eh,&quot; she told ANC&#x27;s Headstart.&quot;Patawarin sila ng langit, nasaan na ang pera ni Carl? Bakit yung backpack wala nang lamang pera? Pati yung Lenovo na padala ng ina na cellphone, wala na, napalitan na ng mumurahing analog?&quot; (There has been &#x27;hulidap&#x27; way back. He had money. God forgive them, but where is Carl&#x27;s money? Why wasn&#x27;t the money in his backpack? Even the cellphone his mother sent was missing and was replaced with a cheap analog phone?)&quot;Hulidap&quot; is a slang term pertaining to incidents where law enforcers pretend to arrest criminals to be able to extort money in exchange for their freedom.Two Senate witnesses on Monday claimed they saw Arnaiz being shot by Caloocan cops while he was on his knees. An earlier PAO investigation found that he was <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/03/17/pao-dating-up-student-tinorture-bago-pinatay-ng-caloocan-police">tortured</a> and was slain &quot;execution style&quot; with an obvious intent to kill.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/02/17/itapon-na-lang-ito-carl-arnaiz-kneeling-when-shot-by-police-witnesses">READ: Itapon na lang ito: Carl Arnaiz kneeling when shot by police - witnesses</a></li></ul>The office has filed double murder charges against the cops and Bagal and accused them of planting evidence. Acosta believes they have more than enough evidence to stand trial.

NASAAN ANG PERA NI CARL? The killing of teenager Carl Arnaiz allegedly at the hands of policemen may be a case of "hulidap" wherein corrupt cops try to extort money from people in exchange for not filing cases against them, the Public Attorney's Office chief said Tuesday.
