The Supreme Court acted on the habeas corpus petition filed by the parents of UP students Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeno and their companion Manuel Merino who were allegedly seized by military men in Hagonoy, Bulacan last June 26.
The military officials were directed to present the three before the appellate court at 10 a.m. on June 24. — Jose Rodel Clapano
