Aside from monitoring the status of retired Major Gen. Jovito Palparan's case at the Malolos Regional Trial Court Branch 14, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang on Thursday said that the military will comply with what ever order the court will give them.
"We will (just) follow (whatever) order the court will give," he added.
And regarding the retired major general's request for additional security regarding the threats against his life, the AFP chief said that Palparan has to inform them about it.
"He has to write us or inform us and then we will coordinate with the NBI or whatever government instrumentality, we cannot just come in as Gen. Palparan is now under the control of the courts," Catapang stressed.
The former official was arrested in a bakery in Teresa and Old Sta. Mesa,
Palparan went into hiding after the Bulacan Regional Trial Court Branch 14 issued a warrant arrest for him, Lt. Col. Felipe Anotado Jr., Staff Sgt. Edgardo Osorio and Master Sgt. Rizal Hilario in 2011 for the disappearance of UP students Karen Empeño and Sherlyn Cadapan on June 26, 2006.
Anotado and Osorio voluntarily surrendered. Hilario remains at large.
Palparan's last assignment at the Army was being commander of the Nueva Ecija-based 7th Infantry Division. He retired from the service in Sept. 11, 2006.
