Attempted Murder

My father who is 97-year old, hard of hearing and limited-walking capability was attemptedly murdered by my neighbor last week who has been harassing and intimidating us by throwing stones/rocks at our house every time he gets drunk. The stone throwing has been ongoing for years--more than a decade. The neighbor is illiterate, never employed, always drunk and just looking for trouble. I live here in the US and my folks in Bulacan are not aware of their legal remedies and I feel helpless, too, because I’m too far away to protect them. I read 1 of your advice to file an affidavit complaint before the prosecutor’s office. My question is: would it be possible for my father who is totally home-bound because of his age or me, who is outside the Philippine to execute the affidavit? Do you think the prosecutor would prosecute the same?

i presume your father is not alone? they should report the matter immediately to the police.

I am fed up with the continuing harassment and threats committed against my family—not just my father—and I want him to go to jail? My niece will go to the police station tomorrow to report the crime. Will reporting the crime to the police attain my objective? The prosecutor who has jurisdiction over us is in Malolos Bulacan. Can you recommend any lawyer who can help us put this guy to jail considering my father’s limited movement and my current absence in the Phil?
