Two Filipinos facing assault charges walked out of jail Friday after the Eastern Court allowed them to post cash bail with conditions before adjourning their cases.

Principal Magistrate David Cheung set a $2,000 cash bail for Jayson Padilla, 50 years old, and – in a separate case – a $500 cash bail for Raynard Manaol. 20 years old. In addition, they were ordered not to leave Hong Kong, reside at their registered address, report to police three times a week, not contact the alleged victims and not go back to the place where the offense was allegedly committed.

Noting that Padilla was unrepresented by a lawyer, Magistrate Cheung told him: “You need to go to the Duty Lawyer Service on the 7th floor. Please file your application today.”

.

Padilla was charged with common assault contrary to Common Law and punishable under section 40 of the Offences against the Person Ordinance, and criminal intimidation contrary to section 24(a)(i) of the Crimes Ordinance.

A police complaint accused him of assaulting a certain Daisy Matuba last April 16, 2026 inside the kitchen on the ground floor of 21 Horizon Drive, Chung Hom Kok, Hong Kong.

In addition, he allegedly threatened Matuba with injury to her person, with intent to alarm her, on the same date and place.

The case resumes on May 29.
