Clara Sarmenta, mother of Eileen Sarmenta, the University of the Philippines (UP)-Los Baños student who was raped and murdered by former Calauan, Laguna Mayor Antonio Sanchez, said learning about his possible release reopened old wounds.

“We were not really aware with that kind of law, so when I came to know that he’s going to be candidate for a release, ako po’y umiyak at nalungkot nang todo dahil bumalik po lahat ng sakit na naramdaman ko noon nung nililitis po ‘yong kaso ng anak ko she said in an interview with ANC.

Clara revealed that they were not even given any notice by the Board of Parole about Sanchez’s impending release, and just learned about the news when she was watching the television Tuesday night. “We were shocked.Kaya di po kami nakapa-take ng action, kasi wala po sa ‘ming nakarating na meron s’yang petition .”On March 11, 1995 Sanchez and his six bodyguards were found guilty in the killing of UPLB students Eileen Sarmenta and Allan Gomez. They were sentenced to seven reclusion perpetua.

Sanchez became eligible for early release because of the Supreme Court’s retroactive application of Republic Act No. 10592, a law that reduces jail sentences for prisoners with good conduct.
