From Tempo (Jul 8): Cebu hearing of MILF, Sayyaf men hit
CEBU CITY – Mayor Michael Rama here has strongly opposed the holding of the court hearing involving the case of alleged members of the notorious Abu Sayyaf and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Cebu City.
Rama said the case of the alleged members of the notorious groups is a high security matter and should not have been held in the peaceful Cebu City. The suspects are being tried in court for their alleged involvement in the 2009 landmine attack that killed two US Navy personnel in Indanan, Sulu.
The court has decided to hold the hearing of the case in Cebu City for security reasons.
“I will never stop making an issue about it. Why not hold the hearing in Manila? Why not hold it in the office of the DILG or in Camp Crame or Camp Aguinaldo? Why Cebu?” Rama told reporters yesterday.
Rama said he will bring his opposition to the Supreme Court.
Rama expressed his disgust as the Cebu City Police Office, aided by the Central Command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, beefed up the security around the Quimonda Building, which temporarily holds the Palace of Justice, for the 2 p.m. hearing of the said case.
