Facts: Two peace officers go to the private clinic of Atty. Elena Reyes at 7:30 a.m., identify themselves as peace officers, and display a warrant issued by the Regional Trial Court for estafa. They arrest Reyes on the spot and escort her to the station. They do not read the grounds for the arrest to her, do not ask whether she understands the grounds, do not read her rights or inform her of her constitutional remedies, and do not present a copy of the warrant to Reyes or to her counsel at the time of arrest. (a) Identify the controlling rule on How a warranted arrest must be made under Rule 113 and explain the required steps for a valid execution. (b) Apply that rule to Reyes’s arrest in the facts and determine whether it complies. (c) If it does not comply, state the remedies available and the likely impact on the admissibility of evidence obtained as a result.
