Lawyers of missing student activists protest transfer of 2 Palparan co-accused to Army

By

MANILA, Philippines — Lawyers of the two missing student activists denounced the transfer of the co-accused of retired Major General Jovito Palparan into the custody of the Philippine Army.

“It dilutes the hitherto significant gain and import of making the perpetrators of human rights violations accountable and to be treated without special accommodation,” one of the private prosecutors Edre Olalia said in a text message.

Lieutenant Colonel Felipe Anotado and Staff/Sergeant Edgardo Osorio were placed under the custody of the Philippine Army after they expressed fear for their safety at a Bulacan jail where suspected criminals and communist rebels were detained.

Anotado, Osorio, along with Palparan, are facing charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention for the abduction of still missing Karen Empeno and Sherlyn Cadapan of the University of the Philippines.

Olalia said they were not notified by the transfer which was done last Friday.

The three accused are members of the Philippine Army when they allegedly abducted the two students.

“It practically means they will be ‘at home’ in the good company and graces of their own who will cuddle them.”

    These lawyers are again in their propaganda mode same with the clients they represent,i.e, the front of CPP/NPA. If what the Army did was illegal, then they should file the appropriate petitions in the court or bring their grievance to the commander in chief himself which is PNoy. Perhaps he will lend an ear to them especially that it appears that he is sympathetic to their cause- what with the bounty being offered by PNoy’s regime for the expeditious arrest of GEN PALPARAN!

    A Second Brush with Palparan(2005)

    Two of those who were recently killed in Central Luzon have had brushes before with Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan, the man the victims’ relatives and friends claim as behind the killings.
    The older Rivera, known to friends as Ka Kiko, died when unidentified men on board a white van strafed him and his friends, Dr. Angel David and Von John Maniti, while drinking coffee in a store in front of Rivera’s home in Barangay (village) Pulong Bato, same city.

    BULLET HOLE: Bayan Muna member Francisco Rivera and his friends were shot dead in front of this store in Angeles City, Pampanga. One of the bullets fired made a gaping hole in the wall.            
    All three died on the spot. Ka Kiko sustained nine gunshot wounds, most of which were at the feet and legs.He was one of the five persons murdered in the Central Luzon region in a span of 21 hours, Oct. 25-26.

    The alleged perpetrators, according to Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (New Patriotic Alliance or Bayan), were soldiers belonging to the 7th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army (ID PA) under the command of Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan.

    Marcellana and Gumanoy were the 28th and 29th victims of summary execution in the province of Oriental Mindoro under the Macapagal-Arroyo government. Witnesses point to the “Bonnet Gang,” a paramilitary group linked with the Philippine Army’s 204th Infantry Battalion of which Col. Jovito Palparan Jr. is the commanding officer. Many of the recent killings in the island were also attributed to the group.The bodies of Marcellana and Gumanoy were found mid-morning April 22 2003 in Bansud, less than 24 hours after they and nine others were abducted.  Five of them, including Marcellana and Gumanoy, were separated from the    group.

    Wanted Dead or Alive

    “SHOOT TO KILL”
    JOVITO PALPARAN
    Melissa  Roxas,  a  31-year  old  writer from  Los Angeles, traveled to the Philippines in 2007 to learn more about the country of her birth.One afternoon in late May 2001,  while watching television in a farmer’s home in a village in Tarlac Province, Melissa and two  of  her  companions  were  abducted  by  armed  and hooded men who dragged them into a van without a license plate.For  six  days,  Melissa say,  she was interrogated,  drugged, tortured and smothered to near death, with her interrogators trying  to  force her to admit she was a communist  guerrilla. When the interrogators learned  that  she was  an  American citizen,  she  told  the  committee,  the  torture  lessened. Although she continued to be tortured, her citizenship may have saved Melissa from death. Her captors later dropped her  off  at  a  relative’s  house  in  the  capital.

    advise ko lang sayo palparan, you proclaim yourself as a POLITICAL PRISONER. gayahin mo style ng NPA. sila may kasong murder, arson, etc. pero pag nahuli, POLITICAL PRISONER kuno.

    fyi, ang NPA pag na praning at pinaghinalaan nila na spy yung kapwa nila NPA, hinahampas nila ng kahoy sa ulo. kung hindi berdugo ang tawag nyo jan, ewan ko na lang.. baseball player siguro. sunod na gagawin nila. kokontakin ang pamilya at sasabihin na kasalanan ng militar kung bakit namatay anak nila.

    ang masakit pa nyan, yung iba inililibing na lang ng NPA sa bundok, sasabihan ngayon pamilya nung NPA na hinampas ng kahoy sa ulo na kasama sa DESAPARECIDOS anak nila.

    kung talagang matino mga lider ng CPP/NPA, bakit hindi nila isama sa hanay ng NPA kani-kanilang mga anak? alamin nyo kung asan mga anak ng CPP/NPA liders, ayun, nasa exclusive schools at nakatira sa condo o exclusive subdivision… courtesy of “rebolusyonaryong buwis” opkors.. mauutak no :)
