Things move slow in the pinoy judicial system,the positive is despite detention he is still in-country and not sitting in a first-class con-air seat stateside bound,good luck Gyp.
No first class on "con air". Ridden it for quite a while. Coach with chains: cuffs, waist chains, attached to leg irons, and attached to another "passenger". Sat on there for 12 hours one time and all they gave us to eat was a box of M&Ms. No joke. So, as you pointed out, best for him to remain where he is. Anything to stay away from the feds.
