As a state prosecutor, Navera handled the kidnapping and serious illegal detention case filed against Palparan over the 2006 disappearance of University of the Philippines students Karen Empeno and Sherlyn Cadapan. It was a model even contrived moot courts in law school cannot match,” the private prosecutors said. Other casesAside from securing the conviction of Palparan, Navera handled the case against Philippine Coast Guard personnel involved in the killing of a Taiwanese fisherman in 2013. He was also a part of the first panel of state prosecutors handling the 2009 Ampatuan massacre.
