Satur transfer
to Leyte scrubbed on court order
BY RAYMOND AFRICA
A CHARTERED plane carrying Bayan Muna Rep.
Satur Ocampo to Leyte yesterday turned around over Masbate
island after the police received a fax transmission from the
judge who had ordered his arrest allowing his continued
detention at the Manila Police headquarters.
Judge Ephem S. Abando of branch 18 of the
Leyte regional trial court early in the morning said in a radio
interview he had agreed to an oral representation of Ocampo’s

service of the arrest warrant.
The police, however, said they needed more
