Hubert Webb's life story on Maalaala Mo Kaya?

If Hubert Webb's life story will be made into a movie or an episode on Maalaala Mo Kaya, who should play as Hubert Webb?

41-year-old Hubert Webb has just been ordered to be freed today by the Supreme Court after he was ruled as "acquitted" in the Vizconde Massacre Case. (Read: Hubert Webb acquitted in Vizconde Massacre Case)

At around 4PM this afternoon, Hubert has been freed and now enjoying the freedom that he lost for 15 years.

Hubert was only 26 when he was jailed for being the primary suspect in the Vizconde Massacre. He was convicted twice for the case and now at 41, he's acquitted.

Can you just imagine how he suffered 15 years in prison for a crime he's not guilty of? How is he gonna start his life now that he's 41 years old already?

At least, that's the central point of Hubert Webb's own life story, which could be a great plot for a movie or an MMK episode.

Now that he's free, there are rumors going on that MMK wants to make an episode of Hubert Webb's life story.

A film outfit is also interested in making a movie based on Hubert's story.

Well, there's nothing wrong if Hubert's life story becomes a movie, coz the Vizconde Massacre itself was made into a movie in 1993 with Kris Aquino as Carmela Vizconde.

There was also this "Jessica Alfaro Life Story" movie in 1995 based on the story of Jessica Alfaro, the witness who pointed out Hubert and 7 others as suspects in the Vizconde Massacre. Alice Dixson played Jessica in the movie.

And now, for a possible Hubert Webb story on MMK or in a film, who do you think should play as Hubert Webb?

Hubert Webb acquitted in Vizconde Massacre case

Hubert Webb, son of former Senator and actor, Freddie Webb, has been acquitted today in the Vizconde Massacre case after suffering in jail for 15 long years.

Hubert Webb, now 41 years old, and 6 others who were also convicted for the same case were acquitted by the Supreme Court and have been ordered to be released from jail.

The other 6 are Antonio "Tony Boy" Lejano (son of Pinky de Leon and nephew of Christopher De Leon), Michael Gatchalian, Miguel Rodriguez, Hospicio "Pyke" Fernandez, Peter Estrada and former police officer Gerardo Biong.

The decision was made 15 years after Hubert Webb and co. were imprisoned in
1995. They were convicted twice for the case, in 2000 by the Parañaque RTC and in 2005 by the Court of Appeals.

As reported by ABS-CBN News earlier, 7 Justices voted for Hubert's
acquittal while only 4 were against it.

It's indeed an early Christmas gift for the Webb family who has been
fighting for Hubert's innocence.

But of course, it's definitely not a merry Christmas for Mr. Lauro Vizconde, who nearly collapsed after the Supreme Court gave its order,
as shown on the video by ABS-CBN News Patrol.

Mr. Vizconde lost his wife and two daughters in the said massacre, and with this latest development, he will be starting all over again in fighting for justice.

Do you think the Supreme Court has made the right decision?

And now that Webb and 6 others have been proven NOT GUILTY in the case, who really killed the Vizconde(s)?

Maybe we have to wait for another 19 years for the Vizconde Massacre Case to finally be resolved.
