The GRAND JURY, The Awesome Anti-Graft Investigator


By: Atty. Marlowe Camello
July 8, 2015, Homeland, California
The proposed Philippine Grand Jury under the
National Jury Law Initiative is patterned after the U.S.
Federal Grand Jury System. It is the Sovereign People's

probable cause or prima facie evidence against the


crime suspect.

INDEPENDENT TOP SECRET INVESTIGATING GROUP

Retaliation Against The Grand Jury


or Any of Its Members Is Impossible

over offenders of crimes punishable with imprisonment


in jail by one year or more and against untouchables
of Society. The U.S. is the only country in the world
today that deploys the GJ System to investigate and
indict in court of rich and powerful crime offenders.

A Grand Jury or its members is a highly


confidential group of pre-qualified private citizens.
Because of its secret operation and the anonymity of its
members (even among themselves), its members cannot
easily be identified or threatened with any legal action
or physical harm. Its impossible to dig up their personal
records. They vote by secret ballot so that none of them
knows each others deciding vote. Their term of office is
limited and they stay in office in a very short period of
time. The GJ can criminally charge a very powerful
corrupt official but it is impossible for him to retaliate
with any criminal charge or lawsuit against a GJ
Member. This is the beauty of the Grand Jury System.

The initial formation of the GJ is supervised by


a judge. It is composed of 23 private citizens, all
college graduates and chosen secretly by lottery from
among applicants. Their names are not revealed to the
public or to anyone. Once formed, the judge that
helped to organize the Grand Jury has nothing else to
do with the functions of the GJ. The term of its
members is limited to six (6) months and thereafter
succeeded regularly with new members and sworn in
by a judge. Its members are compensated with double
the rate of the minimum wage. The GJ operates
independently and it is not under the control of any
government official. For example: It can even
investigate and indict in court including a corrupt
President or corrupt Secretary of Justice. From there,
you can already figure out how powerful the GJ is.

If you, the reader, may be interested to help in the


installation of the Philippine Grand Jury (and Trial Jury)
System to stop all forms of government corruption and
lawlessness of any kind in the Philippines, you are
welcome by contacting its current sponsor for enactment
by the peoples initiative process. Her name is Daisy
Brett-Holt, a Fil-Brit, and a retired school teacher in
Britain. Her email is daisyabh2@gmail.com, and she
is at present gathering signatures of registered voters in
the Philippines to support her petition before the
COMELEC to request that the initiative be scheduled
for election by direct approval through the ballot of the
people.

The main job of the Grand Jury is to make a


decision in behalf of the government prosecutor or any
private complaining party whether to indict the crime
suspect in court or not for a criminal offense. Its
decision is supreme as derived from the peoples
sovereign authority under Article II, Section 1, of the
constitution and not subject to review by any public
official or judge. All that the government prosecutors
shall do is pursue the case to trial. The accused has no
choice but stand trial before a trial jury or plead guilty
to his crime. If the government prosecutor refuses to do
his job to prosecute, he shall be charge for obstruction
of justice by the Grand Jury.

Depending on the number of population of a


province or city, it will be divided into two or more
grand jury districts that will serve as secret group
ombudsman and civil guardian of its people against
government corruption and other forms of criminality.
A GJ does not need to find evidence to prove
beyond reasonable doubt of the guilt of the crime
suspect in order to present its indictment in court.
Finding the evidence of guilt of the crime offender
beyond reasonable doubt is the job of the Trial Jury - not
the Grand Jury. All it needs is to find probable cause
that the crime suspect may have committed the crime.
What is important is that it acts as an independent secret
body of the people to decide without fear or favor
whether or not to indict a crime suspect, rich or poor,

The People, through the GJ, recognize no power


or authority of any person, private or public, who
commits a serious crime. His rank, position or title, or
being a compadre or comadre, in the government,
royalty or title of nobility, profession, occupation, or
calling in the community, is immaterial with no
exception in the "eyes" of the GJ after its finding of
1

deciding power in the functions of the GJ. His role is


limited only in the formation or organization of this
body of citizens and issuing to them the Standard
Grand Jury Instruction for their empowerment to act.
After they are sworn in, the induction judge is required
within 24 hours to deposit the personal records in the
vault of a bank of each and all grand jury members. It
would be a serious offense of the judge to keep said
records in any other place.

and regardless of the power of the person or public


official who is suspected of committing a crime. Its
members serve anonymously whose identity is secretly
kept from publicity.
The Members of a GJ is required to take the
following oath before they start to act on their mission:
"I will diligently inquire into, and true presentment
make, of all public offenses against the people of the
Philippines, committed or triable within this
municipality or city as well as within this province, or
judicial district, or within any judicial district of the
Philippines, of which the Grand Jury shall have or can
obtain legal evidence.

The Basic Source of the


Power of the Grand Jury
The basis and direct source of power of the
grand jury is the people's sovereign authority and
power in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution
which states that "Sovereignty resides in the people
and all government authority emanates from them."

"I will keep my own counsel, and that of my fellow


grand jurors and of the government, and will not
disclose the testimony of any witness examined before
the Grand Jury, nor anything which I or any other
grand juror may have said, nor the manner in which
I or any other grand juror may have voted on any
matter before the Grand Jury.

GJ power to investigate and indict transcends all


over the three great branches of the government,
namely, the Legislature, the Presidency, and Judiciary,
whose powers are derived in the subordinate Articles
VI, VII, and VIII of the Philippine Constitution.
Question: If the President has been meant to be the
sovereign "guy" of the Philippines, why is his
authority written in Article VII and much lower under
the People's sovereign power in Article II?

"I will present no person through malice, hatred or


ill will, nor leave any unpresented through fear,
favor, or affection, or for any reward, or the promise
or hope thereof;
"But in all my presentments I will present the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, according
to the best of my skill and understanding, so help me
God."

Under the proposed jury law, the GJ is given the


power to indict for Obstruction of Justice against any
person or public official no matter how high his
position is who shall violate obligatory rules, or court
orders, such as, among others, disobedience to a GJ
summons, subpoena or subpoena duces tecum, orwrit
of amparo, writ of habeas corpus, writ of mandamus,
or writ of habeas data, even if the violator is the
President of the Philippines. The penalty for
Obstruction of Justice shall be from 3 to 5 years and 5
to 7 years in some specified cases.

GJ members shall be chosen by lottery from


among pre-qualified private citizens. Among others,
some of their qualifications as required by the
proposed jury law are: that they must be college
graduates with a diploma but not necessarily with a law
degree; no public official or government employee or
his close relative or has been a member of a college
fraternity or sorority shall qualify for membership in
the GJ. While they may not know the techniques of
legal interrogation, they will be guided with a
"GJ-WITNESS Interrogation Plan", in effect, to
authorize them to practice law in a limited way by
the National Jury Law & Procedures. Once the said
proposed Law is approved by the people, the
Interrogation Plan will become functional by itself.

Grand Jury Creation is a Protection For


Justice Officials and Judges Including Auditors
By the creation of the Grand Jury System,
justices, judges, and prosecutors as "agents" of justice
shall no longer be treated as errand "boys" and "girls"
of the the President. The Judiciary shall truly become
a "living" co-equal branch in our present so-called
equal government branches. The Ombudsman, Fiscals,
Investigators and auditors will find comfort in the GJ
because it will be the GJ that will decide for them

The formation of a GJ shall be accomplished


under the supervision of an executive trial judge. The
supervising judge, however, has no participatory
2

whether to investigate and/or to accuse in court or not


an untouchable character of society.

make the GJ a monster hocus-pocus agent under the


control of a grafter-in-chief. We have enough of this
corrupt investigation system already.

The Ultimate Objective of


Creating the Grand Jury System

To show off their skills with grand standing


investigations for trial by publicity purposes to gain
points for promotions in their job or for political fame
that usually ends with no indictment of their object of
investigation. Its all exercise in futility.

The ultimate objective of the GJ is to investigate


serious crimes. A serious crime is an offense
punishable by imprisonment in jail by one year or
more. This body of citizens shall decide by secret
ballot so that none of its members shall know each
others vote in reaching a decision to indict a suspected
crime offender.

Utmost Secrecy is Required


in Grand Jury Investigations
The official business of the GJ shall be
conducted in a strictly and absolutely confidential
manner and should be accomplished only in a secret
investigating room. Absolutely no one is allowed to
enter its premises except one witness at a time when
setting a witness for questioning. A witness shall not
be allowed to have a lawyer to accompany him in the
grand jury room. A witness shall be provided with a
secret identity code so that his name will not be easily
known by anyone.

The purpose of secret balloting is to prevent


coercion by any member upon any of its fellow
members in voting so that its decision to indict, or not
to indict, the subject of its investigation shall be
secured upon the free will (and not on the ill-will) of
its members. A member who votes No can not be
reviled or antagonized by his fellow jurors because he
cannot be identified with his "No" vote.
The GJ is never intended as an adversarial forum
because it is not a court of law. Making a GJ an
adversarial body will merely be duplicating the
function of the courts to find whether the subject is
guilty beyond reasonable doubt and will add up delays
in deciding to file the needed accusation in court
against a crime suspect.

To find the subject in a GJ investigation, it shall


require the clerk of court to publish in newspapers or
in television the invitation of tipsters of Crimes, or
whistle blowers, to secretly report suspected serious
crime offenders and witnesses with their names and
addresses without requiring the tipsters and whistle
blowers to disclose their identity.

All that is required of the Grand Jury is to find


probable cause whether a crime has been committed
and that the crime suspect is PROBABLY (or by prima
facie evidence) guilty of said crime.

With grand juries, there will be no more delays


in investigating the Senatorial pork barrel scams and
the Binays, et al, corruption cases.

Why Corrupt Investigators


Oppose to the Creation of
The Grand Jury System?

Tipsters and Whistle Blowers


Who are the possible tipsters of crimes? Many.
He or she could be a disgruntled or jilted lover of the
crime suspect; a partner in crime who has not been
paid, or or has been underpaid, of his share in the loot;
a government employee or official who has been
bypassed for promotion; an honest government
employee or official who is already fed up with this
business of corruption in his office; a person who is
bothered by his conscience on a crime he knows
about; an innocent person who is blamed for the crime
of another; a close family member who is badly
maltreated by the crime offender and in political
rivalry. There are many more circumstances that a
person could be motivated in reporting secret crimes.

Corrupt lawyers, prosecutors, and investigators


love the present adversarial system of investigation for
some reasons, such as:
To give them the opportunity, time and means to
bilk the suspected offender, or to manipulate for the
exoneration of a beloved or favorite crime suspect. We
have seen all of these dilatory proceedings in the
Joc-Joc Bolante and the Ex-Justice Sec Hernandez
cases that were conducted by fiscals and the
ombuds(wo)man under the command of GMA. Both
were hocus-pocus proceedings. We do not want to
3

the moment of the execution of an arrest warrant to


take him into custody.

Members of the GJ are never required to go out


to the field to make their investigation. All their
investigation activities are performed in their secret
investigation room. In filing a GJ indictment none of
its members is required to go to the clerk of court to
file its indictment. Instead, it shall summon the Clerk
of Court to come to the secret GJ investigation room to
accept and stamp the filing of its indictment. As
between the Grand Jury and the Clerk of Court, the
Grand Jury is the Boss and the Clerk of Court is only
a servant of the Grand Jury. The power of the GJ is
derived from Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution
where it says Sovereignty resides in the people and all
government authority emanates from the people.

The GJ law will require that court personnel, the


court presiding judge, the sheriff or arresting warrant
officer to keep the investigation and indictment strictly
confidential until the indictee is already taken actually
into custody. Violation of this rule will subject such
officials for indictment of obstruction of justice.
Other Purposes for the Secrecy
of Grand Jury Investigations
The other purposes of the secrecy of GJ
investigation are:

Due to the secret manner by which GJs are made


to operate, there is no chance that one can see it while
at work . This is the reason that you may have not
heard about it before. And perhaps today is the first
time you have come to know that there is such thing as
a Grand Jury. Most Americans, in fact, dont know
about it.

1. To protect the members of the grand jury from


harm or harassment by powerful vindictive crime
offenders and their cohorts or relatives such as the
President, Governors, Mayors, Senators and
Congressmen, Police and Army officers; and
2. To protect all possible witnesses to the crime
from harm and harassment by interested parties or
persons to a case;

How Do Witnesses Find the


Grand Jury Investigation Room?

3. To prevent the crime suspect from becoming


fugitive of justice or from escaping arrest;

A witness who is subpoenaed by the GJ is


required to report to the Clerk of Court who shall, in
turn, usher, or bring in, to the GJ investigating room
the witness for questioning. If there are several
witnesses, only one witness at a time shall be allowed
and guided by the clerk of court to enter the GJ
investigation room.

4. To prevent trial by publicity by grandstanding


government investigators like the presidential
wannabee senators, and police or army officials who
want to gain good points (or pugi points) for
promotion with their so called crime prevention
efforts;

The main reason for the utmost secrecy of GJ


investigation is to counter-act the secret ways crimes
are committed by offenders. GJ members are assigned
with security ID numbers (SIDN) for their official
name instead of their true names. The only person who
will know the true names of GJ members is the judge
who swore them into office and he is required by law
to keep the list of the names of the GJ members in a
bank vault. A witness is also given an SIDN and his
true name is never mentioned when he testifies during
investigation or questioning.

5. To keep the constitutional innocence of the


crime suspect from prejudicial judgment by potential
jurors in the case.
6. To prevent the suspect or victim or their
respective sympathizers from tampering any evidence
or of threatening, harassing or harming potential
witnesses;
7. To protect both the victim and crime suspect
from further counter-attacks or from harming each
other or by their followers.

Even a crime suspect under investigation is


likewise assigned with an SIDN so that nobody
whomsoever will know who the object of its
investigation is. The only time the subject of
investigation will know that he has been indicted is at

8. To protect judges and government prosecutors


and private investigators for doing their jobs honestly
from illegal or unethical interference, threats,
4

embarrassments, or physical harm from highly armed


or powerful or wealthy elements of society both in and
outside of government;

Shall the authorities then have to call him by cell


phone and say: "Hello, Garci, Hello, honey! Please
remain silent, okay? You also have the right to hire
your own attorney!".

9. To encourage potential crime informers and


whistle blowers to secretly report to the grand jury any
criminal wrong doings in their workplace,
neighborhood, organizations, and among circle of
friends; and

What if he does not even answer the phone so that his


whereabouts cannot be determined? Does this mean
that the Supreme Court will issue an order to disallow
the NBI, or the Grand Jury, to gather evidence against
this fugitive "Garci", if he is not around?

10. To investigate prison facilities to find out how


incarcerated persons are treated (or maltreated and
abused) by jail guards and personnel and whether
money alloted for prisoners food is not pocketed by jail
keepers.

In GJ investigation, this Entity does not deal with


a person in custody. It does not even know in the
beginning who that person is. Besides that, none of its
members is required to go out in the field to arrest any
one. What will the members of the GJ do? Play
Mahjong?

11.
To prevent Filipino politicians from
proclaiming against each other to the whole world that
they are all thieves. At list, at this time, there is a tiny
number of them who are not.

There are two constitutional issues that may be


raised over the secrecy of grand jury investigation
under the Philippine Constitution, namely:

Article III, Section 14(2) is applicable in a court


proceeding and not in a GJ proceeding because it is
not a court. Besides that, there is no ACCUSED to
speak of in a GJ proceeding. The only time there can
be an accused is when he is already indicted in court
by the GJ. But once the suspected offender is already
indicted, the GJ is already done with the crime suspect
and it has nothing to deal with him any further.

1. The right of a person in a criminal investigation


against him to be informed of his two important rights
in Article III, Section 12(1); and

A Grand Jury is Not a Court. Has


No Power To Compel Crime Suspect
To Testify In Its Proceedngs

Side Bar Issues

The GJ is not a court. It has no power to compel


a crime suspect to appear before it to testify in his own
behalf. It has no judicial power to detain or arrest a
crime suspect. Because it is not a court, no one is
allowed to cross-examine during the questioning of a
witness inside the GJ investigation room. A person
under GJ investigation cannot claim double jeopardy
because it has no judicial powers whatsoever.
Investigation and indictment is not a judicial power.

2. The right of the accused to be informed of the


nature and accusation against him, in Article III,
Section 14(2).
Article III, Section 12(1) is a protection for a
person who IS IN CUSTODY such as when he is
arrested while committing, or has committed, a
criminal act. The rights there of the person is to be
informed of two things: (a) His right to be reminded
TO REMAIN SILENT; and (b). His right to be
reminded TO RETAIN A LAWYER of his choice and
if he cannot afford the government shall provide one
for him.

If a person claims that he is wrongly investigated


and indicted by a GJ, he should examine himself about
some acts he has performed that has placed him under
suspicion of having committed a crime in the first place.
If he suspects another person has reported him to the GJ
for the alleged crime he has committed, he should report
that person to the GJ likewise for counter-secret
criminal investigation for obstruction of justice.

If the person is a fugitive from justice, like when


he is on flight in an executive jet in going to Singapore
or Hong Kong with the help of a corrupt elected
President to avoid arrest for committing an electoral
dagdag/bawas offense, it would be impossible for an
arresting officer, much less a grand jury, to advise him
of his Article III, Section 12(1) rights.

One of the forms used by the GJ for its operation to


find crime offenders may be read in the next following
pages of this article. Use of this form may even discover
of who is the mastermind in killing the late Senator
Benigno Aquino.
