please understand that we have given everything required to prove that hubert was in the U.S. when the crime occurred.You name it, we gave it.
1. record of departure including ticket, ticket receipt,(with accompanying testimony from raja tours owner Bibay Nolasco), airline manifest (with accompanying testimony from a northwest airline official), passport with departure stamp from the Bureau of Immigration
2. record of entry which includes an F.B.I. report, a note verbale issued by the U.S. government signed by Secretary of State Madeline Albright stating that Hubert Webb was in the U.S. testified to by no less than both foreign secretary Domingo Siazon and Consul General Leo Herrera Lim
3. records of his stay which includes: Videos – one in Disneyland (testified to by a complete stranger who saw Freddie Webb and decided to video him), one at Lake Tahoe and another at a cousins wedding ceremony. Records of employment in the form of several encashed checks in his name Hubert Jeffrrey Webb before and after the crime California Drivers License aquired during his stay, certified by the Department of Motor Vehicles California. Dozens of eyewitness accounts all of which were excecuted by upstanding members of society all of whom have much to lose had they perjured themselves in court, the most prominent of all being Entertainer Gary Valenciano. Supreme court justice Antonio Carpio also testified that he knew that Hubert was in the U.S, based on his conversations with my father who was in the U.S. right before the time of the incident.
4. records of his departure which includes again the certification from the U.S. stating his date of departure, airline manifest testified to by an authority from the Philippine Airlines, Passport showing entry into the Philippines. We have given everything humanly possible to prove he was in the United States four months before and fifteen months after the massacre occured. He only has one record of ever going to the U.S.A and it was only during the period we claim he was there.
Pease take note that: NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE WE PRESENTED WAS EVER REFUTED OR PROVEN TO BE FALSE BY THE PROSECUTION. THEY COULD HAVE VERY EASILY ASKED THE UNITED STATES IF THE DOCUMENTS WE PRESENTED WERE FAKE BUT THEY DIDN’T. WHY? BECAUSE THEY KNEW OUR DOCUMENTS WERE REAL. THEY COULD HAVE EASILY (ABSOLVED) HUBERT IF THEY ALLOWED DNA TESTING FROM THE BEGINNING BUT THEY OBJECTED TO IT. WHY? BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT IT WASN’T HUBERT’S SPERM BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS IN THE UNITED STATES.
We have waited fifteen long years for some people to start believing. Due to a judge and prosecution without any conscience, my brother has suffered much for a crime he very clearly did not do. All we pray is that he be set free so that he can pick up the pieces and start to live what he has left of his life. Let truth prevail.
no proof beyond the reasonably doubtful testimony and affidavits of a self-confessed nbi-asset-former?-drug-user. ACQUIT HUBERT WEBB!
to the Webb family : I wish you well on your efforts for the freedom of Hubert Webb. I, too, give weight to the USA State Department and Justice Carpio statements that Hubert Webb was in the United States when the crimes were committed.
no offense meant on this comment but I disagree that Hubert Webb should go free. If the Defense’s proof were that strong then, Hubert should have been freed a long time ago. If he gets away with this, it’s only because HIS FAMILY IS RICH AND INFLUENTIAL.
to leslie fareth:
“If the Defense’s proof were that strong then, Hubert should have been freed a long time ago.”
i hope you could take time reading the facts of the case. (available online, usually). you can see from there that the judge had a very clear bias against the accused and she did not accept almost all evidences presented by the defense.
“If he gets away with this, it’s only because HIS FAMILY IS RICH AND INFLUENTIAL.”
on the contrary, i think the reason he’s not being freed is because the justice system is afraid to think that he’s just being let go because he has a rich and influential family. if anyone should be in jail, it should be those damn ampatuans.
In case Mr. Fritz Webb has forgotten, Carmela Vizconde was raped by more than one man. Just because there is absence of sperm, it does not necessarily mean that the guy did not rape the victim. He might’ve used a condom or there was no ejaculation.
Besides, it wasn’t only Jessica Alfaro who testified during the trial. Other people, including the maids at the Webb household and security guards at BF Homes said that Hubert was still in the country when the crime took place.
Documents can be forged anywhere in the world. US security pre-9/11 wasn’t strict. Friends and relatives would naturally want to protect him. I would rather that they presented an unbiased fellow passenger of that US bound flight he supposedly boarded along with his aunt as an alibi.
@Sykes
According to Jessica Alfaro, Carmela was raped by more than one man. According to jessica, my brother was in the Philippines.
According naman kay Gary Valenciano at kay Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio, he was in the States.
Should Gary V. and Justice Carpio go to jail for lying for Freddie Webb? Would you rather take the word of a self confessed NBI asset over the word of GARY VALENCIANO OR JUSTICE CARPIO?
Documents can be forged anywhere in the world that is true but it’s also easy to prove by asking the USA government it’s authenticity. The prosecution was not interested in the truth. It makes me sad to know that there are so many people who have zero conscience and would willingly exchange their souls just to get ahead.
I pray that you never have to experience what we’re going through.
Could it be that hubert was in fact really in USA and it was another brother of his who actually committed the crime?
@ leslie fareth and sykes:
i am not saying that hubert is innocent… pero mas mabigat naman sigurong magsalita na guilty sya… it’s very clear… evidences presented by the defense were ignored… because they relied more on the statements of some people, na pwedeng nabayaran lang din, tinakot or me malicious intent… think about it. a semen was found in carmela’s remains… this being evidence, should have been kept in a safe place… who’s semen was it??? i guess we;ll never know, right?
@Sykes
you say “Documents can be forged anywhere in the world.”
i say “Testimonies can be fabricated anywhere in the world too.”
you say “US security pre-9/11 wasn’t strict.”
I say “you’re wrong. US govt has been very strict and efficient ever since. Documentations/paperworks-wise, in/out of the country, same procedures. They became stricter though and added more security measures in airport to scan people for suspicious terrorism-related plans…”
pls. research and get your facts straight.
I say INNOCENT till proven guilty. So what if you have doubts the documents are authentic? You have to refute and give proof that it isn’t first before you condemn a person guilty. In his case, the court ruled that it MIGHT not be authentic..without proving it first.
@Anna,To the eyes of Judge Tolentino it wasn’t necessary to put more weight on the authenticity of H. Webb’s documents since the incriminating testimonies of the star witness, the two maids,security guards etc. is more than enough to convict the accused. One mind boggling question is. If H. Webb was not involved in that grizzly crime why the heck policeman Beong destroyed the evidences as if to protect the perpetrators. And it’s no secret who he is working with. Granted that H. Webb and company are innocent. Why the hell two of them are still fugitive up to this time. One thing is for sure nobody can hide and run from the justice of the Supreme Being. Amen.
I hear that Hubert is not the real suspect, that his older brother Frits was the real culprit and Tony Boy Lejano and the others are the barkadas of Fritz…during the investigation it was the Webbs who brought out the name of Hubert and put him on the line bec. he has an alibi of being in the States, they were confident he will get an acquittal – that’s why government prosecutors took that bait and targeted Hubert instead of Fritz, but the strategy backfired on them and now Hubert is serving a life sentence supposedly meant for older brother Fritz.
@tom :-D=Your theory seems plausible. thats the same rumor/chimiss I heard regarding the switching of the real person who committed the crime. That’ why, the court could not dismissed the Eyewitness testimonies of the primary witness,the maids, the security guards and the participation of the police agent to destroy material evidences. While the alibi can be documented, the real motive of a collective group of youthful drug addicts cannot evade identity much more its leader.
DNA testing could have proven if the sperm from the vaginal swabs taken from Carmela Vizconde were from Hubert Webb or from the others who were convicted. Even if Hubert Webb, or the others wore condoms, the sperm specimen found should be from at least one of the convicted or even from the 2 fugitives who were identifed by Jessica Alfaro in her testimony. For the 2 fugitives, DNA could be matched through specimens taken from their blood relatives (father, mother, etc.).
If the DNA sample could not be matched to Hubert Webb or any one of the convicts (and fugitives), then the testimony of Jessica Alfaro could then be thrown out with scientific basis. We now would never know the truth since the NBI could not produce the specimens…
SC acquits Hubert Webb, 6 others in Vizconde massacre
UPDATED 1:15 p.m. – Hubert Webb, the son of a former senator, and six other persons were acquitted in the Vizconde massacre case on Tuesday. The Supreme Court (SC) reversed two lower courts’ findings that found him and eight others guilty of killing three members of the Vizconde family almost two decades ago.
According to SC spokesman Jose Midas Marquez, the court acquitted the seven “for the failure of the prosecution to rule their guilt beyond reasonable doubt,” said Marquez.

Peace to all!!
@ Tom..Then why not explore the possibility that Fritz might be the real culprit? Let’s give the Vizconde family the serenity they deserve after suffering for so long..Alfaro’s earlier description of the culprit fits that of Fritz..circumstantial evidences are overwhelming like the testimonies of 2 househelps,the village watchmen,and the deliberate extinction of vital material evidences by a policeman-man bodyguard..its quite unusual for househelps to turn their backs against their benefactors,same is true on the veracity of journal entries provided by vigilant and dutiful village guards and not to be disregarded was the sloppy treatment of vital evidences present at scene of the crime..what distinguishes judges from justices(KAYA NGA PO ITO ANG NOMENCLATURE NILA XE PARA MAGBIGAY NG HUSTISYA) is the vulnerability of the former to commit slight deviations when ruling on cases presented to them,while the latter provides the much needed safeguards to rectify such deviations,utilizing the aggregate merits from the 2 lower courts..it is more apparent that they are reversing the trend with the lower courts being more meticulous in their legal dispositions and the highest and final arbiter being less conscious about their role to prevent the miscarriage of justice and preserve the integrity,impartiality and wisdom of the court of last recourse..4 MAGISTRATES ABSTAINED BECAUSE OF THEIR IMPLIED PARTIALITY(7-4-4)..WITH FOUR OF THEM BEING BIASED,ARE WE FREE TO SPECULATE THAT THEY ARE NOT PASSIVE JUSTICES WHO LOBBIED FOR A RULING FAVORABLE TO THE ACCUSED?WITH JUST 15 OF THEM DECIDING THE JURISPRUDENTIAL ASPECT OF THE ENTIRE CITIZENRY RECIPROCITY IS AN UNWRITTEN NORM..SANA MA-SOLVE NATIN ANG KRIMEN BAGO MAG-LAPSE ANG 20-YEAR PRESCRIPTION SA MGA CRIMINAL OFFENSES..JUNE 30,2011 PARA SA KASO NG MGA KAWAWANG VIZCONDE…HANGGANG SA KASALUKYAN NAGLULUKSA PA RIN ANG PUSO AT DIWA KO SA KALAGAYAN NG ATING HUSTISYA SA BANSA..
@ with regards to DNA testing. i read na kahit multiple and donor ng semen. Pwede mo maisolate ang DNA profile ng bawat isa. So kahit 2 or 3 and nagrape pwede mo pa rin ma identify sila.
If Hubert is not guilty ..Why Biong the police officer his friend destroyed all the evidence, the NBI can’t find all the evidence so what are you telling me people ..my goodness it’s a miracle that all evidence dissapear… so aquitt you can’t find the evidence…Webb and company we were’nt born yesterday when science is so young..technology is already out there…anyone can be bought including Ninoy…
PLEASE ALSO DO REMEMBER THAT ALL YOU GIVEN ARE ONLY COPIES AND NOT THE ORIGINAL AND PLEASE DON’T TAKE US FOR A RIDE MR FRITZ WEBB! AND IF THERE IS EVEN ONE CORRUPT POLICEMAN INVOLVED THERE IS NO POINT AT ALL TO DISCUSS ABOUT THOSE EVIDENCE BECAUSE I AM VERY SURE IT IS ALL TAMPERED AND CANNOT BE USED AT ALL!!! AND HOW IRONIC THAT CAN BE, SOME STRANGER JUST SIMPLY VIDEOTAPE HUBERT WEBB FOR NO REASON AT ALL? EH! HINDI NAMAN SIYA GUWAPO,SO WHAT’S THE REASON BEHIND THAT?IS IT PURELY COINCIDENCE? WOW! NAMAN MILAGRO YAN HA…..SO TO ALL THE WEBB’S AND DE LEON PINKY SHUT ALL YOU’RE MOUTHS BECAUSE YOU ALL WON THIS CASE ALREADY EVEN THE CASE IS BEING REINVESTIGATED. MR LAURO VIZCONDE WILL NEVER GET JUSTICE FOR HIS BELOVED FAMILY NOT IN THIS LIFE… WHAT ELSE LEFT? EVIDENCE GONE MISSING,DESTROYED AND BURNED.AND FOR YOU HUBERT THE ONLY THING, YOU SURVIVED IN THAT PRISON BECAUSE OF YOUR FAMILY SUPPORT AND YOU STILL LIVING COMFORTABLY EVEN INSIDE THE JAIL AND WHO KNOWS MAYBE JUST MAYBE YOU ARE MORE WORST THAN THOSE PEOPLE BEFORE YOU!!!! SO DON’T BE TOO BOASTFUL BY SAYING THAT EVEN IN BILIBID PRISON YOU SURVIVED FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS.EVEN IN JAIL MONEY DO THE TALKING,YOU HAVE MONEY YOU ARE SAFE. A JOHN DOE GOES TO PRISON FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME WHAT KIND OF WELCOME GIFT HE WILL GET? A MOP SHOVED IN HIS ASS!!!!!
[…] hubert webb from fritz webb surreal justice Posted in hubert webb, leila de lima, vizconde […]
This is only some little questions that the prosecution probably missed or didn’t mention in Court nineteen years ago. DID YOU PAY FOR A PLANE TICKET TO THE UNITED STATES BY CASH ?? OR VISA , MASTERCARD OR AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD ? ?If they used Credit Cards. That’s even more stronger evidence that he was really in the United States. What about the Bicycle that he had purchased ? Why Cash ? What about eating and dining inside the Restaurants during his stay in the United States ? Why Cash ? What about surveillance Cameras in the U.S. Banks from your Employer’s Pay Cheques if you want to set up a Bank account ? – if they have one twenty years ago. U.S. Banks always holds your Bank account records on file. What about other witnesses in the United States ? Not your Families relatives and your close friends. Not related to the Webb’s Families. Additional. Do not use our local filipino celebrities as a witness of defence for your innocence. They are not considered legitimate. What about the two missing Suspects ? Filart and Ventura. Why did they fled the Country and now considered fugitives. Gerardo Biong ? Why did he destroyed and cleaned up the evidence ? He knows what the consequence would be if he made such stupid judgments. Did Gerardo Biong really raped and stabbed Carmella along with her mother and younger sister ? That’s a total of forty nine stab wounds. That is really quite out of the ordinary. He was only sentenced for ten years and acquitted after by the Supreme Court. Just like he said that he didn’t burned down all the evidences.
Hi. I was seven years old when the murder happened. like you, i was scared to go out, to be near with strange men, to be left alone at home, because i dont want that to happen to me or my family. I grew up, thinking, that Jennifer would have been in highschool like me, or enjoying her college life if only was given a chance to live. I was in grade 6 when Webb et al were put behind bars of paranque city jail. i had a feeling that time that Webb was not guilty. In 2010, i was already working abroad, when i heard in TV patrol about the acquital. Finally, an inocent man will be given freedom. Today, i got interested reading further on the case. The internet somehow can only provide me few facts, more on the SC decision for acquital, evidences submitten by Webb which most of it are not accepted by Tolentino, Jessica’s testimony, and the repeated statement “Mother and daughters, Estrellita 47, Carmela 18, and Jennifer 7, brutally murdered in their home in June 29(30),1991″…. I am getting more curious now of the profile of the Vizconde family. The angle that has been taken for the reason of murder was Carmela might had a suitor/admirer/bf/stalker who might lead the murder. Photos proved that Carmela is a pretty young woman, but that is not a strong reason why focus on that angle. Three years, Mr.Vizconde was physically separated with his family, the communication then was limited. He said in CheChe Lazaro’s program that it was twice a month when he talked over the fone to his family while he was in America. The mother and daughters were able to keep a secret and surprise a big occassion for the family (buying the Paranaque House). Carmela once informed him that she has a politician suitor but was able to hide the name from him. He said in the same program that Carmela tells him everything, but why he said “may boyfriend YATA”, why not know the boyfriend’s name? If Carmela felt akward to tell it to her dad, why Estrellita didn’t mention it to Lauro? (either Estrellita was also unaware or maybe “pinagtatakpan” si Carmela). My point is, if the ViZconde ladies were able to hide things from Lauro, then they might be hiding something else. Somethings circulating my mind now are the following:
1. Family issues between Estrellita and her siblings or in laws.
2. Possible love affair of Estrellita to other men.
3. Possible stalker of Estrellita.
4. How about debt of Estrellita.
5. What was Estrellita doing that time? Only mothering her girls? Nobody wrote that maybe she was buy and selling, and a buyer was not able to pay her, could be a motive of the murder.
6. Where are Carmela’s UST friends and classmate to at least talk about her? Who could probably say that Carmela is linked to other men (aside from Hubert).
7. Carmela’s professors, did they see anything weird from Carmela’s attitudes? These may give us a clue that she might also be using drugs that time that may lead to other motives of killing her.
8. Jessica said in her testimony, that Carmela told her that she’ll live the kitchen door open for the gang. Why would Carmela do that if she is in her right state of mind? Let us say, yes she knew Hubert, but why would trust Jessica? Why would she allow this guy enter her house in the backdoor at nearly midnight? To hide it from her mom? Kung simpleng manliligaw, or boyfriend,WHY? 18 years old na sya and yet not able to think the word “pag-iingat”?
9. What is Mang Lauro’s profile? What was he before
going to the US? Any “utang” that needs to be settled?
10. Why Mang Lauro is so focused on Hubert? Hubert was not the only son of a politician in Paranaque or even in Manila.
11. Why Mang Lauro’s relative asked/permitted/allowed Biong to clear up the mess and burn the bedsheets?
12. What was the profile of Mang Lauro’s relatives?
13. Where are the Vizconde maids now?
14. I am surprise that the Webb maid gave her statements and joined in the court trial, but i didnt read anything that the Vizconde maids were there in the trial or even been investigated on the case?
15. These Vizconde maids could have been the leader of the murderers. They might be the one opened the door for the gang. They were there in the crime scene, and did not here anything. Most will agree to me that it is IMPOSSIBLE. For all we know maybe they are the right persons to help Lauro find justice and not Jessica.
16. Neighbors? Where were they? Many of my patients here in this foreign country who leaves alone are saved by their neighbors simply by hearing a loud bang or noise from the patient’s house that is indicative that patient might have collapsed or fallen. Will you agree to
me that it should be possible that Vizconde neighbors heard the loud tv noise, the victims’ screams, and the voices of the killers? (unless the killers are totally mute during their encounters with their victims).
17. Wala bang roving guard ang BF homes?
18. And to end this, where is the guy that Jessica was saying who Carmela drove to the exit that appeared to be her boyfriend?
I am surprised not to read anything like these in any blogs i have read. I am questioning why these possible things were not taken into consideration, or if they were, why can’t i read anything published about it? Why only focus on one reason for the murder and one group
of suspects?
The number of WHY’s is unending. But one thing we know, JUSTICE were not given to either VIZCONDE or WEBB…. To Fritz,please extend my regards to Hubert and let him know that i believe in his evidences.
