Sandiganbayan dismisses Morong 43 case 0 SHARES Share it! However, the testimonies of the complainants revealed that they never informed the accused officials the name of their counsel of choice. The prosecution should have produced evidence proving that the accused prohibited private complainants from conferring with their counsel of choice. The Morong 43 health workers were arrested back in February 2010, since officials claimed they were conducting explosives training in a house in Morong, Rizal. The Morong 43 health workers subsequently went on a hunger strike because the accused officials reportedly tortured, threatened, and deprived them of sleep.
