The Tiamzon couple will remain in the Philippine National
Police (PNP) custodial center because the courts handling their cases have yet
to issue orders for their release, a police official said on Tuesday.
In a report by Chief Supt. Philip Philips, the director of
the PNP Headquarters and Support Service, to PNP Chief Dir. Gen. Ronald Dela
Rosa, the PNP has so far received one court order for the temporary release of
Benito and Wilma Tiamzon.
Phillips told Dela Rosa prior to a PNP command conference
that they are still waiting for release orders that will come from three other
courts hearing the cases of the Tiamzons.
Once the PNP HSS get all the court orders, the police could
release the couple, Phillips said.
The Tiamzons will be part of the formal peace negotiations
between the government of the Philippines
and the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Oslo , Norway
The Tiamzon couple are facing charges of illegal possession
of firearms, explosives and ammunitions and harboring of criminals following
their arrest in Cebu in March 2014.
Meanwhile, Dela Rosa said he expected the CPP-NPA to
withdraw its support from the government's anti-illegal drugs campaign so the
organization could maintain its relevance in the eyes of the public.
"Dahil kapag sige lang sila, sabay-sabay sa amin mawala
'yung kanilangrelevance," Dela Rosa said in a press briefing in Camp Crame
In its statement, the CPP said it will no longer join the
anti-drug campaign of the Duterte administration, branding it as anti-people.
The government thrust isn't addressing the core issues in
the society that lead to proliferation of illegal narcotics, CPP said. The campaign
also put poor people to the disadvantage while the privileged and influential
are treated differently, it added.
