Detained former general Jovito Palparan on Thursday informed the regional trial court hearing his kidnapping case that he intends to represent himself in his trial. Palparan said he could no longer afford to pay his lawyers who agreed to serve only as consultants in the preparation of legal documents.

Palparan is standing trial along with three other army officials for the 2006 kidnapping and illegal detention of two missing University of the Philippines students Karen Empeno and Sherlyn Cadapan.
