Maria Concepcion “Concha” Araneta-Bocala, peace consultant
for Visayas of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), on
Monday posted bail for temporary liberty in a hope to join the resumption of
talks between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the
Communist Party of the Philippines
(CPP-NDF) in Oslo , Norway .
Bocala, who is also the spokesperson of the Communist Party
of the Philippines (CPP) regional committee in Panay Island ,
posted a Php100,000 bail for illegal possession of explosives and ammunition
charges at the sala of Branch 23 Regional Trial Court judge Guilljie Delfin-Lim
at the Iloilo Hall of Justice.
The financial guarantee for her murder and rebellion charges
is being prepared after the local courts in Aklan and Antique already granted
their urgent motions to release on bail, according to Reylan Vergara, deputy
secretary general of Bayan Panay in Western Visayas .
Meanwhile, Bocala said that she will bring before the
attention of the peace panel issue such as high unemployment and push for
subsidy for farmers, free education for students, minimum wage increase,
improved social services, free hospitalization and medicines, among others.
Bocala is expected to be released on August 16. She will
immediately proceed to Manila to process other
legal documents and visa for her Norway trip.
Bocala is expected to return to the country and to report
directly to the court after the August 20-27 peace talks.
Bocala was arrested in August 2015 in Molo, Iloilo City
by joint forces of the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) and the
Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG-6).
Currently, she is detained at the Bureau of Jail Management
and Penology (BJMP) in Jaro, Iloilo
City .
