A Pasig City court sent back the anti-dummy law case against Rappler executives to the prosecutor’s office after finding that it violated their right to due process.

“The undue haste in transmittal of the records of the case to the court for the filing of information against the accused violates the accused’s right to due process, guaranteed under the Constitution,” Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 159 Presiding Judge Elma Rafallo-Lingan said in a nine-page order released to the media on Monday.

It said the prosecutor’s office should conduct a full preliminary investigation on the case filed against the Rappler executives for their alleged violation of the Securities Regulation Code. Ressa and Gloria now only have to post ₱63,000 as bail. Ressa’s travel bond was also reduced from ₱110,000 to ₱50,000.
