Ting said Dicdican was among those charged in the murder case endorsed by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to the Cebu City Prosecution Office and/or the Office of the Prosecutor General.
“Another penalty for retired Court of Appeals justice possibly is he won’t be able to receive his pension anymore,” said Ting.
