The Court of Appeals says the personal knowledge of witnesses 'is more than enough to sustain a finding of probable cause' for the issuance of search warrants.

In a 14-page decision, the appellate court’s 13th Division dismissed Kapa’s petition questioning the search warrants issued by the Manila Regional Trial Court and implemented in several of its offices across the Philippines in 2019, including those in Quezon City, Taytay, and General Santos City.

Kapa accused the Manila RTC of committing grave abuse of discretion, saying that the court issued the search warrants in the absence of probable cause. It added that the NBI was able to provide evidence and information that backed its request for warrants to be issued, and that the “trial court made a careful examination of all the documents submitted…and propounded probing questions to the witnesses.”
