The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said on Monday it
is submitting itself to the wisdom of the courts after a Quezon City regional trial court cleared
Andrea Rosal, daughter of the deceased rebel leader Ka Roger Rosal, of murder
charges.
"In such matters, we submit to the procedures of the
court," AFP public affairs office chief Col. Noel Detoyato said.
He also said that Rosal's release is not a big blow to the
counter-insurgency efforts as this shows that democracy and legal procedures in
the Philippines
are working.
But despite Rosal's murder acquittal, the military official
still believes that the former is a legitimate member of the rebel movement as
indicated by their intelligence information.
Detoyato also believes that Rosal will go again to her
comrades in the hinterlands to continue their insurgency campaign.
