MANILA, Philippines — A local court has ordered the release of community doctor Maria Natividad “Naty” Castro, who was detained for more than a month in Agusan del Sur.

 

The Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur Regional Trial Court Branch 7 dismissed the kidnaping and serious illegal detention case against Castro on the following grounds:

 

  • Denial of her substantive right to due process
  • Lack of jurisdiction over the person of the accused

 

Acting Presiding Judge Fernando Fudalan Jr. then ordered the custodian of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology to release Castro from detention unless other cases are pending.
