MANILA — The Supreme Court confirmed that the six accused in the case of “missing sabungeros” or cockfight enthusiasts filed a petition before the Supreme Court last month to seek temporary liberty.

SC spokesperson Camille Ting said the six Manila Arena security personnel appealed the Court of Appeals decision voiding Manila RTC Branch 40's grant of bail.

The six are facing kidnapping and serious illegal detentions cases.

“There is one case that was filed in Supreme Court last May. It’s appealing Court of Appeals decision that was released in December,” Ting said in a press conference Thursday, June 19.

The SC has yet to take action on the filed petition, according to Ting.

Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla earlier said they will vet new information on the case.

An individual who claimed to be one of the six accused in the case asserted in a television interview that the missing sabungeros, who disappeared four years ago, were likely to dead and that their bodies are in Taal Lake.
