Lupisan denied the charge. He explained that his relations with Maria were platonic and that she had made him the scapegoat for her predicament after she teamed that he is the sole heir of his widowed mother.chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library

At the hearing on October 25, 1977, conducted by the Executive Judge of the Court of First Instance of Caloocan City, Lupisan moved for the dismissal of the charge on the ground that he had ceased to be a court interpreter because his appointment expired on August 11, 1977 and that he was not seeking reappointment.chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library
