The barangay folk, who were surrounding her, refused to let the 1002nd Bde forces take her, as the former were apprehensive that the latter would only commit foul deeds against her. Magpatoc and the barangay folk asked if there was a warrant for her arrest, but the 1002nd Bde forces were not able to present any.
Tinanong ni Magpatoc at ng mga taga-komunidad kung may mandamyento de aresto para sa pag-aresto sa kanya subalit walang maipakitang anuman ang mga pwersa ng 1002nd Bde.
