A member of the Presidential Security Group who was caught using cloned automated teller machine (ATM) cards last week is now out on bail.

Lt. J.G. Raphael Marcial gained his temporary liberty after he posted P20,000 bail, radio dzBB reported early Thursday.

Makati City police had arrested Marcial, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class 2008, during a surveillance operation.

Last Sunday, Malacañang said there will be no special treatment for Marcial, with Presidential Communications Operations Office head Herminio Coloma Jr. saying Marcial will have to face the consequences of his actions.

“They must face the consequences of their actions in accordance with the law,” he said on government-run dzRB radio last Sunday. — ELR, GMA News
