VELASCO JR., J. |
||||
| The CA correctly ruled on the question of legality of the warrantless arrests of accused-appellants. A warrantless arrest is not a jurisdictional defect and any objection to it is waived when the person arrested submits to arraignment without any objection,[25] as in this case. Accused-appellants are questioning their arrest for the first time on appeal and are, therefore, deemed to have waived their right to the constitutional protection against illegal arrests and searches.[26] | |||||
