Notorious but unknown until 1999, this article became famous due to Panfilo Lacson's high profile murder case: 1999 PACC Murder case: In 1999, 11 members of Kuratong Baleleng were killed by the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission, led by Panfilo Lacson. In 2003, the High Tribual ordered the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to try the case against Mr. Lacson and 33 other police officials. The trial court however dismissed the criminal case, finding absence of probable cause. The special prosecuting team later moved for new tiral before the High Tribunal to remand case to the trial court to present new evidence against Senator Lacson, inter alia. On May 2, 2008, the Supreme Court of the Philippines resolved to take cognizance of the motion of the families of the slain Kuratong Baleleng members for revival of the murder case against police officials and Senator Panfilo Lacson.^[1] --Florentino floro (talk) 06:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
