TWO employees of Eternal Gardens whom the company said were the victims of “unjust arrest” and “illegal detention” were released on Monday (October 16) after three days in detention on the basis of a complaint filed by an officer of the Batangas City Prosecutor’s Office for alleged theft of a marble marker.

However, the company said it will “pursue legal actions available under the circumstance to guarantee the protection of its employees’ rights, and ensure that those responsible for these unjust actions will be held accountable.”

The employees were taken in by Batangas cops on a warrantless arrest after a client of Eternal Gardens took the issue with a missing marker that was being cleaned ahead of the ‘Undas’ commemoration. Despite explanations by company officials, the client, a city prosecutor, caused the arrest of two employees, and had them detained until Monday, when the company posted bail for them.

We wish to reiterate our serious concern about the blatant misuse of power carrying out a warrantless arrest in a situation that did not warrant such actions.
