The Department of Justice (DOJ) acknowledges the recent calls for the dismissal of a criminal case involving Frenchie Mae Cumpio, Mariel Domequil, and Alexander Philip Abingua. We appreciate the concern expressed by your organization and the public regarding this matter.

It is important to emphasize that the DOJ prosecutors are expected to be objective in their assessment and evaluation of the evidence at hand. We are committed to ensuring that the principles of due process and fair treatment are upheld in all legal proceedings. The decision-making process within the DOJ  is guided by a thorough review of the facts, evidence, and applicable laws, with the ultimate goal of promoting justice and the rule of law.

We understand the significance of public interest in cases such as this, and we assure you that the DOJ remains dedicated to upholding the integrity of the legal process. We encourage all stakeholders to respect the independence of the judiciary and allow the legal system to function independently in accordance with the law.

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. Rest assured that the DOJ, as the government’s prosecution arm and enforcer of  the criminal justice system, is hellbent on promoting transparency and fairness.
