P500K reward for info on Palparan
MANILA, Philippines - The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) are offering a reward money of half a million pesos for anyone who will be able to provide information that will lead to the arrest of retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan.
This was bared by Justice Sec. Leila De Lima in a text message to ABS-CBN News.
Palparan remains at large in spite of the issuance of a warrant for his arrest by a Bulacan trial court for the kidnapping and serious illegal detention of University of the Philippines (UP) student activists Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeno in June 2006.
A manhunt for his arrest and that of co-accused M/Sgt. Rizal Hilario was ordered recently by De Lima.
Co-accused Lt. Col. Felipe Anotado Jr. and S/Sgt. Edgardo Osorio have surrendered to authorities.

On the Run
They abused they authority, now they are on the run.
Just because they were given the authority to fight insurgency doesn't mean that they have the authority to kidnap, torture and kill anyone they suspect.
Just because you have power doesn't mean you are God.
Hide like a rat Mr. Palparan.
IKAW NA DATING TUMUTUGIS SA MGA KOMUNISTA ANG SIYA NGAYONG TINUTUGIS DAHIL SA PAG-ABUSO MO SA KAPANGYARIHAN.
MASAHOL KA PA NAGYON SA DAGA.
