AFP submitting itself to court's wisdom with clearing of Rosal's daughter

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 8): AFP submitting itself to court's wisdom with clearing of Rosal's daughter

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.
