Why Hubert Webb is Innocent?

The Supreme Court has acquitted Hubert Webb of the conviction of murder. It used to be a rumor, now it is true.

I previously wrote about Hubert Webb’s innocence a few weeks ago. It was short and quick because I also included another good man and angelic faced Andal Ampatuan in that piece.

Hubert Webb is not guilty of the charges he was convicted of the murder of the Vizconde women, because:

  • The young people of today said so. These kids were still in their crib and some in their mother’s womb when the massacre happened in the 1990s. This made their opinions accurate.
  • Antonio Carpio who used to testify for Hubert Webb is now part of the Supreme Court. Though he inhibited himself from the case.
  • Conchita Carpio Morales one of the Justices who acquitted Webb, is the cousin of Antonio Carpio.
  • Justice in the Philippines can be bought with a price.
  • Pinky Webb, Hubert’s sister is working in the media. Media is good at getting people’s sympathy.
  • The evidence presented was xerox copy, and that’s enough.

  1. With all due respect, the burden of proof always lies on the prosecution. The prosecution tried but dismally failed to establish their claim that Hubert Webb was in the Philippines when the crime happened. Add to that Jessica Alfaro’s conflicting statements regarding Hubert Webb, et.al’s involvement in the crime. I think we should stop using argumentum ad hominem. Just focus on the merits of the case.

  2. Mama Gwapito, ikaw naman nakita na naman kita tambay ng luneta kagabi at nang hahada ngayon pa comment comment ka na naman. ang babaw naman ng argumento mo puros emosyon bakla ka talaga. Pag mainit pa ang krimen at bago pa maemosyon pa ang tao at gusto may maparusahan at mapakulong maski di sigurado kung siya talaga., kaya hindi nasusunod ang beyond reasonable doubt, e maraming butas bakla eh, si Jessica Alfaro e asset ng NBI yan madaling pagawin ng drama. O sige mama see you na lang sa luneta, pero barat ka daw magbayad ng men ha … un ang balita. ingat ka din sa AIDS ha.

  3. * The young people of today said so. These kids were still in their crib and some in their mother’s womb when the massacre happened in the 1990s. This made their opinions accurate.

    >> It’s better to judge without your emotions, people before are full of emotions they just want somebody to get jailed and don’t care if he is really the culprit.

    * Antonio Carpio who used to testify for Hubert Webb is now part of the Supreme Court. Though he inhibited himself from the case.

    >> This is true, but as you said he inhibited himself, what do you want him to do commit suicide ?

    * Conchita Carpio Morales one of the Justices who acquitted Webb, is the cousin of Antonio Carpio.

    >> Uselesss argument.

    * Justice in the Philippines can be bought with a price.

    >> That’s true and so is anywhere in the world stufid.

    * Pinky Webb, Hubert’s sister is working in the media. Media is good at getting people’s sympathy.

    >> Same with with Vizconde they ar always with media, VACC exposure with the crying bigote guy.

    * The evidence presented was xerox copy, and that’s enough.

    >> Ay tugok, siempre alangan naman ibigay ang original. OC ung original ay naipresent na at nauthenticate na yan. Pag nag applay ka ba o napasok sa trabaho sinasubmit mo lahat original … ay tugok talaga.

    1. i like mama sita.. i agree with everything you say.. as for the webb issue.. there’s justice in heaven.. whoever the culprit is, he wont get away with it..

  4. Im frm ust few days aftr that famous massacere happend a webb dunno if who among d brothers was d big news in d campus where carmela was a student at arlets i think.if hubert was in d states on june 30 ’91 where was FRITZ WEBB during that time.a house help of d webb n d village security testified against d webb particularly on hubert when hes alledgely in d states.again where was FRITZ during d massacere happend???

  5. Let gone’s be by gone’s…It is already 15 yrs and 4 months that Hubert Webb has suffered inside jail and I think that is enough for him to think deeply how hard it is for the father of Carmela to live without his cherished family. I think both family is done with the nightmare and this is the time they need to wake up to face reality that “life is harsh”. Mas madali pa ngang mag move on sa part ni Mr Vizconde knowing that your family is already with Christ, not like Hubert Webb he will suffer all his life for a one night of stupidity he did.

  6. I agree with Madel and Mama Sita. your arguments are so uselss just like the testimonials of Jessica Alfaro.

    1. If Freddie Webb was so powerful why would Hubert Webb spend 15 years in prison, and why just use power now when in fact he has no authority and positions in the government for several years now.

    2. Yeah Pinky Webb is in the media but come to think of it during the trial if you watch the MGB and the movie why is it that all of them are in favor of Jessica Alfaro’s side and it is like the media has already convicted Hubert of the crime when the trial is still ongoing.
    3. The RTC judge just accpeted 18 evidences out of 400 submitted by Webb. Yeah, you are correct justice can be brought with a price.

    madami pa…. just open your eyes. Marami kasing hindi nakaka alam at nakaka intindi. Hindi sa kinakampihan ko sila Webb the truth is already there you just have to analyze it thoroughly kasi naka tago siya in between the lines. Next time na mag comment ka on something pag aralan mo munang mabuti ha.

  7. After I came to the realization that I do not know the details of the Vizconde trial, I refrained from criticizing the Supreme Court’s decision to free those who had been convicted in the lower courts. I then gave the crime some more thought.

    The sensational nature of this saga led to my mentioning it to friends who are of the same age as Hubert Webb and who may have seen him at Faces, Mars, and various Green Belt discos in the late 80s and early 90s. 1 of my friends claims to have known 1 of Hubert’s neighbors. Supposedly, Hubert hopped over the fence onto a neighbor’s yard and exposed himself. Another 1 of my friends claims that his friends gave young Hubert a beat down outside of Faces because of Hubert’s offensive behavior. He added that Hubert appeared to have been under the influence of drugs when it occurred.

    But this is the classic case of “I heard it from a friend who heard it from his friend who heard it from her friend etc.” Not many, not even the Webbs, would dispute that when this crime occurred, Hubert was a heavy shabu user.

    Although he might have been odd and a drug user, I concede that it is quite possible that Hubert may not be guilty of killing and raping. It is possible that he was stoned out of his mind and really does not remember violating members of the Vizconde clan. Why else would the Webbs be so insistent on testing DNA if they were not confident of Hubert’s innocence on the rape charge? But his not raping Carmela is certainly not proof that he was not at the residence when the murders occurred.

    Because Jessica Alfarro was also a heavy shabu user and because she came forward 4 years after the crime, I understand those who doubt her testimony. 4 years, even for somebody who has never touched drugs, is a long time. Indeed, a lot can be forgotten in 4 years time. But think of a memorable big event that occurred more than 4 years ago and you would be surprised at how many faces and names you could recall.

    Just as an example, I got involved in a school parking lot rumble in high school. I am now 40 and I have witnessed a lot of things since that rumble. To this day, I remember 6 of the faces and some of the names of those with whom I fought and 4 of the faces of those against whom I fought. Had I witnessed the Vizconde carnage, I doubt if the memories of that rumble would be as long lasting as that of what could be the most violent and bloody crime in BF Homes’ 40-year history.

    Furthermore, Jessica Alfarro identified 8 people. Not just 1, 2, or 3, but 8. If Jessica Alfaro was indeed the NBI’s puppet, why would the NBI coach her to choose 8 people? Why not just choose 3 or 4? And let those chosen incriminate the accomplices.
    And why would the NBI specifically choose those 8? Maybe I am giving the NBI too much credit. But is not the NBI the premiere law enforcement agency in the Philippines – made up of the best and brightest law enforcement officers? Put yourself in the NBI agents’ position. Somebody comes forward and informs them that 8 people committed this 4-year unresolved crime.

    They try to find out why this person would accuse the 8 people after 4 years. If they are not top notch agents, they do not even bother investigating after discovering that the witness is a recovering drug addict. But being top notch agents and feeling the pressures associated with a 4 year old high profile unresolved case, they do their due diligence. After investigating the witness’ claims and analyzing evidence from the crime scene, they believe that the witness’ account is consistent with their findings. But they make sure of everything before bringing up charges.

    Why do they make sure? It is probably not because they are concerned over accusing people who are truly innocent. After all, they had brought in other suspects in previous years. The reasons they make sure is the same reason why below average law enforcement officers would not have investigated further after discovering that the witness is a recovering addict. They make sure because their investigation reveals that the 8 suspects are not your average rugby boys; they are not sons of powerless families.

    One is the son of Freddie Webb, not only a Senator but also a former PBA and a former Olympic basketball player. In 1995, former PBA players were still treated like gods. 1 of the other suspects is the son of a commodore. And others are sons of lawyers. They make sure because they know that at best, bringing up charges against the 8 would lead to unwanted scrutiny, and at worst, would lead to the premature end of their law enforcement career.

    As for Hubert Webb’s supposed 7 month stay in the U.S., it is common knowledge among many that before 9/11/01, U.S. green card holders found ways to make it appear as though they have continuously lived in the U.S. They deceived the U.S. government so that they could meet the “continuous stay” requirement – for retaining their green card and for applying for U.S. Citizenship.

    But Hubert Webb was not a green card holder and there are people who interacted with Hubert in the U.S. during the 7 1/2 month period. Also, there is overwhelming evidence that Hubert Webb went through the SFO immigration counter on March 9, 1991, the day he arrived to the U.S., and that he took a flight from New York to Manila on October 26, 1991. Based on the maid’s testimony, I am not convinced that Hubert Webb was not in the Philippines during a few of those days.

    When a tourist who has a multiple entry visa leaves the U.S., he does not have to fill an I-94 form if he expects to return to the U.S. in the immediate future. This is the reason why although Madeleine Albright signed the papers, she was not willing to testify to its veracity. Because pre- 9/11 U.S. was not as adamant about securing its boarders as it is now.

    I really hope for 1 of 2 things. First, that Freddie Webb files a case against Jessica Alfaro soon. His doing so would force Jessica Alfaro’s lawyers to look for evidence that Hubert Webb spent some time in the Philippines during the 7 ½ month period that he was in the U.S. The second, I hope that all 6 of the group would take a lie detector test and answer just 1 question – “Did you ever spend any time in the Philippines with Hubert Webb during those 7 ½ months?” If Hubert Webb was indeed in the Philippines during the 7 ½ months, even for just 1 day, why do the Webbs claim that he was in the U.S. for such a long period of time?

    Even if the evidence of the 7 ½ month U.S. stay is flawed, it is not proof of Hubert Webb’s guilt. But it would be very suspicious.

  8. hi,

    today, all information as at the end of one fingertips. why not check the facts first before judging?

    as for your argument:
    >>>> The young people of today said so. These kids were still in their crib and some in their mother’s womb when the massacre happened in the 1990s. This made their opinions accurate.
    —– i say young people nowadays are tech savy who cannot live without the internet. it is in the internet where you can get everything: from the most trashy to the most brilliant articles ever written. if most young people of today thinks that the accused were not guilty, its because they were lucky enough to live an an era where they can get hold of the facts which have not been editorialize by the biased media. a simple google search can give one the full document of the supreme court’s decision regarding the acquittal. a few more clicks that you’d be able to get an excerpt of jessica’s testimony back in the 90s. when one reads these with open minds, without anyone coloring the facts, i’m sure one would see how unfair and irrational the RTCs decision was.

    Antonio Carpio who used to testify for Hubert Webb is now part of the Supreme Court. Though he inhibited himself from the case.Conchita Carpio Morales one of the Justices who acquitted Webb, is the cousin of Antonio Carpio.

    — -there were lots of credible people who testified that hubert was in the states at the time of the murder. not just justice antonio carpio. you may also read this online. the fact that justice antonio carpio inhibited himself from the case, it only proves to show he has delikadesa. as for his cousin, i haven’t read her assessment as to why she gave a ‘not guilty’ verdict. so i cannot say anything about her.

    Justice in the Philippines can be bought with a price.
    —- if this is true, then why would someone who, most people say, has enough money to buy it, let his son rot in jail for FIFTEEN YEARS???

    Pinky Webb, Hubert’s sister is working in the media. Media is good at getting people’s sympathy.
    —– have you ever seen pinky talk about her brother in ABS??? the fact that she has remained silent these past few weeks shows depth of character. she showed us that she is not someone who would take advantage of her circumstances to advance herself.

    The evidence presented was xerox copy, and that’s enough.
    ————— im sure you have applied for a job na no? when you submit your transcript or birth certificate as part of the initial requirements, do you submit the originals??? NO. instead, you have it photocopied, then you show the original to whoever is accepting the requirement so he/she could attest that the copies are indeed the same as the originals. this is a very flimsy excuse.

    Also, in our justice system, when one is tried of any crime, the question is never IF ONE IS INNOCENT. the question is whether ONE IS GUILTY AND WHETHER THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT HIS GUILT. this was pointed out by the supreme court in their decision. and when you read all the facts, i’m pretty sure you would also find several reasons to doubt the guilt of the seven people who were accused of the crime.

    it is sad that even to this day, most filipinos still do not know how to be critical of the information fed to them by the biased media.

    i always tell my friends that if you want the truth in the philippines, do not turn on your television. instead, turn on your computer. then you read the facts. then filter. then you make a decision. for whatever that decision might be, at least it is entirely your own and formed by your own intellect and morals.

  9. I agreee! he is GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt. i just hope hell is real para at least my HUSTISYA. Satan is waiting for you hubert
