From the Daily Tribune (May 15): AFP to file charges against politicians who cooperated with NPAs this elections
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesman Brig. Gen. Domingo Tutaan on Tuesday said that the military, together with civilian authorities, are preparing to file charges against politicians who willingly gave in to the New People’s Army (NPA)’s permit-to-campaign and-win extortion schemes during the recently concluded May 13 mid-term elections.
“If there is evidence (that merits) the filing of the case, we will see the case at court,” he added.
Tutaan said that the identities of these politicians will be discussed in the coming post elections assessment of the AFP.
He added that investigations will also be done to determine whether these individuals gave money willingly to the rebel or did it under pressure or duress.
The AFP spokesperson also stated that the filing of the charges will be done in accordance with existing laws.
