Castro’s partner Charlton Seechung, secretary Jonalyn Montoya, and client Jackson Chua Jr. who were also detained have also been released.

Castro was slapped with slander case after she allegedly went hysterical as she questioned the legality of Chua’s arrest Tuesday evening at the MPD-Women and Children’s Desk.

Castro said she is bent on filing countercharges against some MPD policemen. With reports from Jodee A. Agoncillo, Philippine Daily Inquirer
