Taipan’s brother gets another arrest warrant (Manila Standard Today)

Mariano Tanenglian—-taipan Lucio Tan’s brother—-again faces arrest over criminal charges filed by another former maid as Judge Ma. Lourdes Giron of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 102 also directed the issuance of a hold departure order on him, wife Aleta along with children Fayette and Maximilian for violation on five counts of the Anti-Child Abuse law.

A bail of P80,000 was set for each of the charges filed against the Tanenglians by former maid Mary Jane Sollano.

But Giron has cleared them of violating the Anti-Trafficking of Persons law, and for kidnapping and serious illegal detention.

Last May 4, QC RTC Branch 94 Judge Roslyn Rabara-Tria issued a warrant of arrest and hold order against the accused on similar charges filed by former maid Aljane Bacanto.

Women’s advocacy group led by Gabriela secretary general Lana Linagan said that they hope that the warrants of arrest would be eventually served to show that justice does not discriminate between the poor and the rich.
